4.0 �toiles sur 5 Calls attention to some serious issues 18 avril 2012

Par A. Press - Publi� sur Amazon.com

Format:Reli�

I've just read the entire book, unlike many of the negative reviewers.
Nowhere does Mr. Teresi claim that the people involved in this field aren't compassionate or sensitive (with a few exceptions). He does, however, cite enough published acientific work to support his thesis that decisions are made based on false or untested assumptions. He also claims that those who are in the position of declaring people dead are often misinformed or careless about the proper procedures. Studies in other areas have shown that doctors believe they are following protocol much more often than they actually are, with unfortunate results. If those who work in the field are convinced otherwise let them show studies that contradict this.
This book is well written, although I did occasionally feel that he as being sensationalist. Mr. Teresi also bases some claims on facilitated communication, a method whose scientific merit is highly questionable. Still, the studies cited to support his claims demand an informed response, not the emotional pleas of caregivers, transplant recipients and others who feel that the good of transplants supercedes any of the legitimate issues raised in tis book.

5.0 �toiles sur 5 Ignore the hysteria; this book matters 22 avril 2012

Par CassaPill - Publi� sur Amazon.com

Format:Reli�|Achat authentifi� par Amazon

This bracing book manages to entertain, even amuse, while exploring the disturbingly interconnected, undeniably fascinating subjects of death, near death, "brain death," coma, consciousness, paralysis, pain and organ donation. Early on, lost count of OMG moments. It's is a game changer, or should be, raising as it does the possibility that organ harvesting has occurred when or in ways it should not have. (Brought to mind the spectre of executed convicts later proved innocent by DNA evidence.) As if Teresi hasn't already made a case for extreme caution in declaring "brain death," he saves for the end the shocking financial incentives that underlie this widening corner of the medical-industrial complex. The sassy style masks a deadly serious message -- one that clearly has rattled many fellow "reviewers"; their panicky protests seem inadvertently to support the book's thesis rather than undermine it. How Teresi executed this book without invoking "Oy'm not dead yet" from Month Python, or Ishiguro's "Never Let Me Go" is a little mystifying, but perhaps admirable...

This is hands-down a terrific job of both reporting and thinking. Teresi has long been one of our best science writers, and in Undead he manages to unearth the history of various cultures' attitudes toward the moment of death, probe how the current definition of brain death arose (did you know an EEG is not required?), describe the current law (hint: do NOT die in D.C. unless you want your organs 'harvested' almost before you're gone), and blow the lid off the transplant industry--all with mordant wit and humor interwoven. Let me echo another Amazon review: if a book enrages so many people with a financial interest in the status quo, there's a good chance it hit the mark. This one did.
