Mark Benecke provides an entertaining investigation into the biological meaning of life and death and the prospects for extending human longevity, or even achieving immortality. Discussing the biological fundamentals of why death exists as well as the various ways humans cope with a finite life span, Benecke looks at alternative ways for extending our lives through such technologies as cloning, organ and brain transplantation, and live cell therapy. Maintaining a skeptical attitude to many of the claims and counterclaims made by countless experts, Benecke has written a book that both challenges and informs.
