我们正在经历一场激动人心的生物学革命。我们在理解我们为什么会衰老以及为什么有些物种比其他物种活得更长方面取得了巨大进步。我们很快就能逃避疾病和死亡，活很长时间，可能是我们现在寿命的许多倍吗？

《我们为何衰老》分享了关于衰老原因以及我们如何预防衰老的新科学理解。拉马克里希南研究了通过改变我们的自然生物学来延长人类寿命的前沿努力，提出了深刻的问题，并在此过程中解开了令人费解的答案。死亡是否具有必要的生物学目的？如果有些人开始活得更长，这对我们所有人意味着什么？我们如何才能增加长寿、健康和充实生活的机会？

We are living through an exciting revolution in biology. Giant strides are being made in our understanding of why we age, and why some species live longer than others. Will we soon be able to cheat disease and death and live for a very long time, possibly many times our current lifespan?

Why We Die shares the latest scientific understanding of what causes ageing and how we might prevent it. Ramakrishnan examines the cutting-edge efforts to extend the human lifespan by altering our natural biology, raising profound questions and unravelling mind-bending answers along the way. Does death serve a necessary biological purpose? What will it mean for us all if some people start living longer? And how can we increase our chances of living long, healthy and fulfilled lives?
