Science Weekly: Who Wants to Live Forever?

What would you do if you could live forever? The question may not be as far fetched as it sounds, according to biomedical gerontologist Aubrey de Grey. He believes that people alive today will live beyond 1000 thanks to medical advances to prevent ageing.

Guardian environment correspondent David Adam talks to former Jane's Addiction front man Perry Farrell about "Global Cool" - an organisation of celebrities set up to change attitudes about climate change.
