Do We Have To Die? With Venki Ramakrishnan
Why do we die? Do we have to? Neil deGrasse Tyson, Chuck Nice, and Gary O'Reilly explore the paradox of death, the science of aging, and the search for immortality with Nobel Prize-winning structural biologist Venki Ramakrishnan, author of the new book Why We Die: The New Science of Aging and the Quest for Immortality. What do we mean by death? We discuss the paradox within death: that an organism's cells can be alive, but the organism itself could be dead.
