0.2 A Conversation on Ageing and Death

So What? Library and Information Science Podcast

The thought you cannot think controls you more than thoughts you can speak aloud. Library and information science has long been bastion against the restriction of free inquiry, be it the banned book or the taboo thought. In this episode Jen Opoku and Alex Mayhew delve deep into taboo thoughts about aging and death. Meandering and philosophical, no topic is off the table in this discussion. Highlights include discussion of sexuality of the elderly, religious context of death, and the desirability of rejuvenation and life extension.
