KERA's Think

It might be possible to delay menopause


Listen Later

Scientists are still trying to figure out why human ovaries have a shelf life — and how they can extend it. Celia Ford, Future Perfect Fellow at Vox, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss a new breakthrough that promises to delay menopause, what that means for healthy aging in women, and what the social implications might be if older women are still able to bear children. Her article is “We have a drug that might delay menopause — and help us live longer.”
