Description
One can now think of there being
four ages in our lives: childhood,
active adulthood, maturity and
finally 'You're looking very well.'
Lewis Wolpert, acclaimed scientist and broadcaster, investigates a topic close to all our hearts - why must we age and how should we deal with it when we do?
We now live longer than at any time in history. In the UK, there are more people aged over 65 than under 16 and by 2050, over a third of the developed world will be over 60. How should we deal with this phenomenon? What are the scientific reasons for ageing? And can - or should - we prevent it?
