For four years, Lee immersed myself in the world of organ transplantation, scrubbing with surgeons, living with people who traveled halfway around the world--literally on the edge of death--to transplant centers, hoping for miracles. He jets through the night on organ donor harvests and confronts the ethical, moral, scientific and humanistic viewpoints of organ transplantation through the eyes of the people most involved. This book has been translated in five languages--and is the first of Lee's four books to dramatically and personally capture the world of high tech medicine.
