Growing old -- it's not something most people like to think about. Yet it is a reality of life.
In a newly released documentary from the award-winning EDGES TV series, Mal Fletcher asks, 'In an age of ageism, botox treatments, skin peels and cosmetic surgery on demand, how should we approach growing old?'
This fascinating 28 minute film explores the various techniques available to slow the ageing process and delves into approaches and concepts that might allow people to age with grace, wisdom and courage.
Among Mal's conclusions is the belief that, 'Because we live in such a narcissistic age, we may need to remind ourselves from time to time that long life is only meaningful when it’s a good life – when it’s invested in something that lives on when we die.'
You can watch the programme online (28 mins WMV stream), at edges.tv.

EDGES is a great show. The research has real depth and the program is put together well. I think Mal is a great host. Australia
I accidentally came across your EDGES programme on Robotics whilst studying nanotechnology. I'm not Christian, but I want to compliment you on being much more scientific than I would have expected. Anon
In the UK in 2008, the Church does not seem to do well on broadcast media. Yet it has important things to say. I want to thank you Mal for your forward-looking approach to sorting this out. Alan, United Kingdom
