Autopsy: Life And DeathS1 Ep4 - Ageing

Dr Gunther von Hagens and Professor John Lee reveal the processes in life that tie us to our ultimate fate in death by performing a series of autopsy demonstrations. Von Hagens compares body parts from the cadaver of a woman over 80 years old with the same body parts from a much younger woman. By exposing the extent of internal damage, von Hagens and Lee demonstrate the widespread effects of ageing and explain why we can't live forever.
