On Wednesday, February 3, the “always intelligent and provocative” (Wall Street Journal) Intelligence Squared U.S. continues their tenth anniversary year with a live debate on the motion “Lifespans Are Long Enough.”

Debaters include SRF CSO Aubrey de Grey, whose TED Talks on radically extending lifespans have been viewed by millions, and Brian Kennedy, who runs the Buck Institute for Research on Aging, arguing against the motion. Arguing for the motion are Paul Root Wolpe, considered one of the founders of the field of neuroethics, and Ian Ground, Secretary of the British Wittgenstein Society.

The debate will be held at New York’s Kaufman Center and stream live online, then air soon after as part of the syndicated public radio show and podcast “Intelligence Squared U.S.” On February 3, online viewers can tune in here or via IQ2’s app.
