Is ageing simply a disease and a curable one at that? Should medicine be able to combat ageing just as we have combated and eliminated many diseases? We hear from the scientist developing the 'polypill' that could lengthen lives, and others, to discuss how our relationship with death has changed and where this might take us in the future.
