We now live longer today than at any time in history. By 2050, over a third of the developed world will be over sixty. How should we deal with this phenomenon? What are the scientific reasons for ageing? And can - or should - we prevent it? Wolpert explores the scientific background and the implications of our ageing population. He tackles everything from ageism to euthanasia to antiageing cream.
