Summary
The story of an American neurosurgeon’s Cold War-era attempts to not only perform a brain transplant, but also his work to perfect surgery that would allow the soul to live on after the death of the body. Mr. Humble and Dr. Butcher follows his decades-long quest into tangled matters of science, global politics, and faith, revealing the complex (and often murky) ethics of experimentation and remarkable innovations that today save patients from certain death
