The Science of Death

Product Description

A man has been pronounced dead, but the heart is still beating, the cells still dividing. Even after someone is clinically ‘dead’, life in many parts of the body carries on – for hours, days, and even weeks. The Science of Death broaches the morbid topic of death by offering an entertaining and enlightening look at the process of dying, which in some cases, can be stopped, or even reversed. After ignoring death for most of its history, the medical and scientific communities have begun to focus their attention on how our bodies behave on the journey to eternity.

Often seen as an event, dying is actually a process. In the Science of Death, scientists seek to unravel the complex series of events that comprise the stages of death. Combining a unique style with startling information and events, this program uses state-of-the-art 3D graphics, captivating cinematography, and the latest science to explore the hidden life after death.
