Summary:
Like most living things, humans are programmed to die. Can science change that? This film examines mechanisms within our bodies that eventually wind down and stop, and shows how medicine may one day find a method for reversing the biological effects of time. Host Michio Kaku interviews Nobel Prize-winning biochemist Sir Paul Nurse, who has spent a lifetime analyzing cellular division and other processes. The program also studies clues to immortality existing in other organisms-including sea urchins that live far longer than expected and display no signs of aging, and the Methuselah Tree, a nearly 5,000-year-old pine in California that still produces cones.
