“Hey baby, can’t you see I’m looking older?” George Michael sang and we all thought he was an ‘old coot’ reminiscing……but guess what…………it’s happening to us all, slowly and irreversably!
What does getting older mean? Are we destined to a future of walking sticks, mashed food and sitting in a nursing home watching day time ’soaps’ on TV?
What if we could live to be 1000 years old………….or what if we could live forever? Would this change how we lived our lives?
What happens to us as we age? What happens to our senses?
Is there a role in the world for older people or should they be thrown on the scrapheap?
This week’s episode of Dead Serious explores what ‘getting older’ means and how we can make maturity a positive, because it’s happening to us all and before we know it we will be facing the choice of living well as an older person or giving up and waiting to die.
