        <description>Aug 6, 2025, Super Human Network Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aB-3u_HthcM What would you do if medicine offered no answers? Liz Parrish didn’t wait for FDA approval. She became the first person in the world to take multiple gene therapies, using her own body to test a future that medicine wasn’t ready for. Since then, she’s taken 10 gene therapies, helped over 300 people treat conditions once considered untreatable, and challenged one of the biggest assumptions in healthcare: 👉 Should we treat aging the same way we treat disease? In this talk, Liz shares how her personal decision created ripple effects across the world - and why gene therapy may be the first real step toward extending not just health span, but lifespan. What you'll hear: • What most people don’t understand about aging • How gene therapy works at the cellular level • Why she chose to take gene therapies before they were approved • What it will take to make “post-aging” humans possible • The latest breakthroughs in lifespan and health span extension Timestamps: 00:00  Intro: Welcome to your biological future 01:00  A history of how humans die (and how it’s changing) 03:30  Why today's medicine is failing aging 05:10  Gene therapy 101: What it is and how it works 07:00  Why Liz took 10 gene therapies herself 08:45  What changed after she became a GMO 10:00  The backlash from media and big pharma 11:40  What we can now treat (muscle loss, Alzheimer’s, aging) 13:15  What gene therapy means for the future of humanity 14:00  Making aging optional: what comes next</description>
