BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

In the last programme in the series, Jonathan Miller discusses the beginning and ending of life, how the development of intensive care has made it possible for machines to take over when the body's regulatory systems fail, and the pressing need for long-term social care to support the very old. Can we provide our old people the quality of life they deserve?
