Description: From ancient myths of bodily restoration to the pioneering surgeons who dared to swap out failing hearts, kidneys, and livers, this sweeping history traces humanity's long quest to replace the irreplaceable. Journey through the brutal early failures of transplant medicine, the immunological breakthroughs that made survival possible, and the machines engineered to stand in for nature's most vital work. Along the way, meet the visionaries, patients, and ethicists who shaped a field where science routinely crosses into what once seemed impossible. A gripping look at where organ replacement has been—and where pig hearts, bioengineered tissues, and hard moral questions are taking it next.
