Liz Parrish wants to cure ageing. She believes that ageing is a disease. She says regulation is stopping researchers from saving lives. But Liz won’t be stopped. In 2015, her company flew a patient to Colombia for the first treatment of its kind in humans: gene therapy to reverse biological ageing. Remarkably, they claim it worked. If that’s correct, then why are we still dying of old age? Journalist Frank Swain embarks on the hunt for the true story behind this controversial human experiment.
