- Summary:
- We can now cure disease, replace failing body parts and even engineer our health on a genetic level. So are illness and death really inevitable, or can they be overcome? It's a question Nobel Prize-winning biologist Paul Nurse has explored through his own research. Scientific breakthroughs across the world are opening up exciting possibilities. But new technologies that extend life raise complex ethical conundrums. Even if we could eradicate death and disease, should we?
