It's a difficult story to confirm, but the measures failed.
The pope died, as did all the boys.
It's an unusual operation that has a 400% mortality rate.
But what about hormone supplements?
Because this feels like the most modern idea that we are all aggressively confronted with.
This idea is not new.
It goes back at least to 1889.
Brown Saccard, the great French physician, starts grinding up guinea pig and dog testicles and injecting extracts of them under his skin.
And he reports that he gets stronger, his bowels improve, his brain fog clears, and he urges other physicians to try it
And they do try it and they kill a lot of people.
So whether you're seeing strange practices on social media and that's where you're getting your longevity conversation or whether you're reading headlines in serious newspapers talking about it or scientific journals, it's been a conversation for 3,000 years and it surrounds us more than ever.
How many people here are doing something to work on their longevity?
Are there people here who are sort of aiming to live a bit longer or would like to live a little bit longer?
OK, that's great.
So that's getting a few nods.
So we do have an interest in living beyond what we might call our life expectancies.
But there was an interesting headline in The Guardian very recently, which said that at least 80% of the responsibility for ill health in old age is down to the individual.
So people who are trying to live longer may well be doing the right thing, according to this headline.
And that idea to me seems potentially really exciting and really empowering that we could take charge of our health.
And perhaps that's what we should be doing in this tent today is setting you up to kind of grapple with your longevity.
