Important and provocative, The Undead examines why even with the tools of advanced technology, what we think of as life and death, consciousness and nonconsciousness, is not exactly clear - and how this problem has been further complicated by the business of organ harvesting.

A bit sensationalist but interesting
Revisado: 03-02-17
It was an interesting topic, but the narrator / author is a bit full of himself and could have delivered the material in a less flamboyant and far more concise way. It dragged a bit throughout for the sake of telling a story. He raises questions about a lot of assumptions surrounding death that we take for granted, which I think is a real value of this book. However, there is a level of paranoia and reactionary response to many aspects of modern medicine that I think seemed much more characteristic of sensationalist journalism than objective science. You'll certainly have your eyes opened, but I would caution any one from completely drinking the kool aid and throwing out their organ donor status based on his perspective alone.
