Summary FOREVER YOUNG?What's the secret of eternal youth? Dr Jeffry Life thinks he has the answer, and it's controversial... prescribing human growth hormone and testosterone injections to wealthy retirees from his clinic in Las Vegas. The 74-year-old physician has become a celebrity, showing off his muscled body to demonstrate what he says can be achieved. On Tuesday's Dateline, Nick Lazaredes meets Dr Life, which is his real name, and looks at the growing 'age management' industry in the US. But while his patients are lining up to endorse the treatment, the trend has sparked a debate over whether it's effective or even safe. And with the high cost of treatments, some are asking who's really profiting from the desire to stay youthful.MOMENT OF TRUTHAround 50,000 people died during the decades-long rule of Brazil's military junta. Many who opposed the regime just disappeared, leaving their families with so many unanswered questions. Now, a member of one of the death squads has decided to come clean, finally revealing face-to-face how their loved ones were tortured and killed, and what happened to their bodies. On Tuesday's Dateline, Rodrigo Vasquez travels with Claudio Guerra as he's confronted by distressed family and friends demanding answers. And he makes an emotional return to the scenes of his crimes, where his mission was to kill without leaving any traces behind. But Guerra says he must now face up to what he's done in the hope that such a dark period in Brazil's history never happens again.THE YOUNGEST BRIDEMarried at eight and raped and beaten by her husband, Nujood Ali defied Yemen's tradition to demand action against those responsible. On Tuesday's Dateline, Fouad Hady meets the girl whose case sparked international outrage, but what happened to her is common practice in Yemen, where marriage of girls is legal. Human rights experts estimate that more than half are wedded before they're 18, sometimes sold off by their families, who use the dowry to alleviate their poverty. Fouad also meets 12-year-old Ghadir Ali, who waits outside a court as a group of men argue about the marriage she's refused to enter into. And in recent weeks reports have emerged of an eight-year-old dying from internal injuries after being raped by her 40-year-old husband. So what hope is there for the future? Nujood is determined she can make a difference
