Part 2: Health
The experts examine how scientists are fighting for our survival by battling the world's big killer
diseases. Biologist Aarathi Prasad joins virus hunters in the jungles of Africa, Robert Winston sees
first-hand how the surgeons of the future could be robots, capable of operating round the clock, and
Richard Dawkins investigates the way brain disorders might one day be treated using laser light and
genetically modified brain cells. Anatomist Joy Reidenberg discovers two possible solutions to the
killer disease malaria and - most extraordinarily of all - Aarathi Prasad meets a woman whose life
has been saved by a revolutionary new cancer treatment, in which every patient gets an individually
tailored cocktail of drugs. From the jungles of Cameroon to the quads of Oxford, the programme
celebrates the work of scientists striving to extend and save our lives.
