Follows Dr. Robert White's decades-long quest into tangled matters of science, global politics, and faith, revealing the complex (and often murky) ethics of experimentation and remarkable innovations that today save patients from certain death.

What The Reviewers Say

Howard Schneider,
The Wall Street Journal
... admirable.
Gary Krist,
The Washington Post
Robert J. White [...] didn’t see why he should be content replacing individual organs when he could theoretically replace all the organs at once — by transplanting a sick patient’s head onto an entirely different body.
Sam Kean,
The New York Times Book Review
... delightfully macabre.
Marcia G. Welsh,
Library Journal
... readable.
