Dr. Alex Jadad on Making Longer Life Worth Living

Way back in 2011 I had the incredible pleasure of hearing Dr. Alex Jadad speak at Singularity University GSP'11. Dr. Jadad spoke on Making Longer Life Worth Living and I have to admit that it was perhaps the most moving lecture that we have had so far. Furthermore, as attested by the standing ovation at the end of his presentation, it seems that all of us felt the same way. Alex pulled no punches and did not fail to shock and awe his audience with all kinds of profoundly philosophical, personal and emotional questions. However, the main point of his presentation was a simple yet crucial question aimed at alleviating human suffering that sits at the heart of his work: “We are putting more years into out lives, but how can we put more life into our years?” Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
