An important obstacle we confront in our Quest for Qualongevity - our effort to maintain quality-of-life across a long lifespan - is ageism.  In this episode, we take a stab at defining ageism. We focus our discussion of ageism around three defining aspects of this "ism" cited by The World Health Organization:  stereotyping, prejudice and discrimination against people because of their age.
