What If You Never Aged ?

What if your body stopped aging at 35… but your life kept going? You're 75, your wife is 74, your daughter is 42 – and you still look exactly the same. In this animated What If story, Sam Carter never ages. At first it's funny: no senior discount, reunion confusion, vampire rumours from the neighbours. Then comes the cost: watching everyone you love grow old without you. And one freezing January day, a 35-year-old body that still breaks is put to the test. We also look at the real science: telomeres and the Hayflick limit, the oldest verified human (Jeanne Calment, 122), and animals that come surprisingly close to not aging – hydras, the immortal jellyfish, Greenland sharks and naked mole rats. Ice safety: if someone falls through ice, call emergency services and reach or throw something from the bank – don't walk out onto the ice.
