Charles Lindbergh, Dr. Alexis Carrel, and Their Quest to Live Forever

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
After his world-famous nonstop transatlantic flight in 1927, Charles Lindbergh had an otherworldly experience in the Utah desert and then committed himself to exploring the science of eternal life. He teamed up with Nobel Laureate Dr. Alexis Carrel, and they embarked on an immortality project at New York’s Rockefeller Institute. David M. Friedman describes this unusual partnership in The Immortalists.
