The Best of Coast to Coast AM

Philosopher John Fischer thinks you should want to live forever…but not so you can see the stars or run your start-up forever. He thinks you should choose life because living can bring so much joy. And that made his argument for living forever the one Mangesh found most compelling…compelling enough that he wanted to share their conversation in this mini-episode with you, our favorite longevinauts.
John Martin Fischer is Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at University of California, Riverside.
You can read his extended (and much more high-minded) debate with our favorite longevity curmudgeon, Stephen Cave, in their book: Should You Choose to Live Forever: A Debate from Routledge Press.
Read about near-death experiences and other touches with immortality in John’s study for the Templeton Foundation: The Science of Immortality.
