This episode focuses on Japan's struggle to thrive as a world leader in science and technology. Hiroko Kuniya, the former host of "Today's Close-up," had an exclusive interview with engineer Koichi Tanaka, 2002 Nobel laureate in chemistry. Tanaka attracted attention again last year when a team of researchers, including Tanaka, announced that they had developed a simple and affordable blood test to diagnose Alzheimer's disease.
Many people wish to die in his or her own house. But the reality is not so. Aging, exhaustion and poverty of family members stand in the way of a peaceful death at home. Oichiro Kobori, 80-year-old doctor pours his energy into home healthcare. He explores the best way for patients of about the same age to reach the end of life at home, in cooperation with their families and the patients themselves.
