Aging is universal.

Scientifically, there's no good reason why you wouldn't call it a disease.

I've always been fascinated by this idea that we can tweak life and improve it.

A lot of people hear longevity or longevity supplements, and they roll their eyes a little bit

like billionaires wanting to be immortal.

That sort of gives this whole field a bad rap.

Right now, there's this perception that it's only going to benefit to the top 1% of our civilization.

That's why I do think more work needs to be done.

My biggest bioethical concern when it comes to human longevity is...

Hi, everybody. I'm Emily Capitalupo, Woop Senior Vice President of Research Algorithms and Data.

And today I am joined by a very good friend of mine, Dr. Rainey Romani Klein.

Rainey is a researcher, philosopher, and bioethicist working at the intersection of longevity, ethics, and public policy.

She has done a wide-ranging number of just incredibly cool things from helping design

the $101 million X-Prize for Health.

Her work has been published in the world's leading academic journals as well as mass media

like The Washington Post.

And she is working on her very first book, which I am so excited to read.

So without further ado, Rainy, welcome to the Woot Podcast.

Thank you, Emily.

It's wonderful to be here.

I want to jump in with a little bit about you.

What does it mean to do work at the intersection of ethics and health span?
