Why are most living creatures condemned to die "naturally" even when they have
a favourable and protected environment? Is death a "useful" biological process
or does it not correspond to any natural necessity? Biology has only recently
begun to address these issues. However, today it provides a coherent and
rigorous framework for interpreting death, its existence as mechanisms at the
very heart of life. André Klarsfeld and Frédéric Revah take stock of all this
research, which overturns many preconceived ideas on a subject that has
haunted humanity since the beginning. André Klarsfeld is a neurobiologist and
researcher at the Alfred-Fessard Institute of the CNRS in Gif-sur-Yvette.
Frédéric Revah is a neurobiologist by training. He was a member of the
Institut Pasteur and held positions of responsibility in the pharmaceutical
industry. He is now a scientific director in a biotechnology company.
