The decline of infections, starvation, heart attack, and stroke has
allowed people to reach extreme old age--and ushered in disability,
dementia, and degenerative disease, with profound consequences for
the self and society. In chapters echoing Dante's nine circles of
hell, Dr. Guy Brown explores these vital issues at various levels,
from the cell, to the whole body, to society and how all this new
medical technology affects the meaning of death. He tracks the
seismic shifts in the causes and character of death that are
rocking medicine and reveals how technological innovations, such as
cloning and electronic interfaces, hint at new modes of "survival"
after death.
