The “delightfully macabre” (The New York Times) true tale of a brilliant and eccentric surgeon…and his quest to transplant the human soul. In the early days of the Cold War, a spirit of desperate scientific rivalry birthed a different kind of space race: not the race to outer space that we all know, but a race to master the inner space of the human body. While surgeons on either side of the Iron Curtain competed to become the first to transplant organs like the kidney and heart, a young American neurosurgeon had an even more ambitious thought: Why not transplant the brain? Dr. Robert White was a friend to two popes and a founder of the Vatican’s Commission on Bioethics. He developed ...

Comparat deseori cu dr. Frankenstein și ținta frecventelor atacuri din partea activiștilor pentru drepturile animalelor, Robert White a dus în laboratorul său o luptă pe care el însuși nu știa dacă o va câștiga în cele din urmă: cea cu limitele cele mai dure ale științei. În urma descoperirilor lui revoluționare, avea să fie pusă sub semnul întrebării însăși definiția vieții și a morții, așa cum fusese perpetuată de religie și de concepțiile filozofice. Dacă putea să demonstreze că, în urma transplantului, creierul cu toate amintirile lui supraviețuiește, atunci urma să salveze minți captive în corpuri muribunde.
