A beautifully written and compelling memoir of a largely unexplored
area of medicine: transplant surgery. Leading transplant surgeon Dr
Joshua Mezrich creates life from loss, moving organs from one body
to another. In this intimate, profoundly moving work, he examines
more than one hundred years of remarkable medical breakthroughs,
connecting this fascinating history with the stories of his own
patients. Gripping and evocative, How Death Becomes Life takes us
inside the operating room and presents the stark dilemmas that
transplant surgeons must face daily: How much risk should a healthy
person be allowed to take to save someone she loves? Should a
patient suffering from alcoholism receive a healthy liver? The
human story behind the most exceptional medicine of our time,
Mezrich's riveting book is a poignant reminder that a life lost can
also offer the hope of a new beginning.
