This evening is spoken in Dutch
In this eighth edition of Denk Zorg, we explore an ancient human dream: to become immortal. Do scientific knowledge and technology bring eternal life within reach? And what place do fate and chance still have in such a scenario?
Science is getting better and better at making people live longer. We use genetic testing to find our weak spots. We repair worn-out tissues and replace exhausted organs. In short, we are improving. But this seemingly unstoppable evolution also raises questions.
Is medicine striving to upgrade human beings?
How far do we go in that?
What about our consciousness?
Does eternal life make us happy?
And is death a personal choice for immortal man?
An initiative of Ghent University Hospital, in cooperation with Traders in Ideas and Ha Concerts
