Timothy Allen talks with Laurence Ion.
In this conversation we explore the intersection of longevity, science and Free Cities. Lawrence shares his journey within the ecosystem, focusing on creating environments that foster rapid medical innovation by circumnavigating traditional regulatory bottlenecks and empowering individuals to choose their health interventions.
The discussion delves into the promising yet controversial realms of gene therapies, decentralised clinical trials, and the role of special jurisdictions in advancing aging research, highlighting the potential for Free Cities to become hubs for groundbreaking medical advancements.
We also tackle existential questions about life extension, the ethics of transhumanism and the societal implications of increasing human lifespan.
Enjoy the conversation.
