A member asked:

Is apoptosis only a theory? are there any actual physical medical record of a person that went through it & seen under a microscope that proves it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Apoptosis: This is a well described programmed cell death that has been observed and studied and does not occur on a large scale in any one individual. So you really cannot "see" it!
