More about the book
Are you alive? Most people believe that some law defines our status as living (or not) for all purposes. But Foley shows that not being dead isn't necessarily the same as being alive, in the eyes of the law. The need for more organ transplants and conservation of health care resources is exerting pressure to expand the legal definition of death.
