Book desription: PublicAffairs, 2005. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. Miller, a staff writer at The Providence Journal, provides a you- are-there narrative of a scientist's attempts to make a breakthrough in the field of organ transplantation, centering on a genetically engineered pig named Goldie. Miller was granted full access to the lab and other facilities of Dr. David Sachs, whom he followed for two years. Miller's account of Sachs' work in xenotransplantation, or "xeno"--the use of animal parts to treat human patients--describes how the science works and the ethical issues it raises as well creating as a portrait of a driven immunologist and surgeon and his race to find answers.
