We talk little of it, although it fascinates us. What is death, and why is it the ultimate destiny of every living organism? This program shows that death is an essential element in the survival of species. Medicine is trying to postpone death and medical progress has required a new definition of death: cerebral death. The program covers the psychological, social, and religious dimensions of death, mourning, and the acceptance of death. (23 minutes)
