About this show
Would you rather die young and beautiful, or old and prune like? Dermatologists talk about the hazards of sunlight, but Professor Richard Weller (The University of Edinburgh) asks have we got sunshine all wrong as modern science uncovers health benefits. Sperm counts are declining and male fertility hangs in the balance. But what lies behind this threat to our very existence? Professor Rod Mitchell (The University of Edinburgh) has just 30 minutes to save the human race. Part of the Edinburgh Medical School’s 300th Anniversary.
