Science and the future: Death - nothing more certain? - Oxford Literary Festival

Video Embed
From Neolithic burials to Mozart's Requiem and the novels of Martin Amis, humans have fashioned cultural responses to the inevitability of each individual's demise.
But what does science have to say about death? In a stimulating panel discussion, scientists and writers debate the impact of future advances in science and technology on our understanding of the end.
