Terminal Experiment, The by Sawyer, Robert J - 1995

This book is apart of the Easton Press Masterpieces of Science Fiction Collection, in As New condition, leather bound with gilded pages and cover. Illustration by Kent Bash. "The Terminal Experiment is a prime example of Sawyer's bold approach. It dives into one controversial question after another: the moment of death; whether bodies are really dead when their organs are harvested; the reasons people age and the possibilities of immortality; scientific proof of the soul; the moment when the soul leaves (and enters) the body; whether animals have souls, including humanity's closest relative, monkeys; the possibilities of downloading human personalities into computers; and the philosophical and social implications of all those developments - all wrapped a murder mystery and surrounded by adult human relationships. Sawyer is fearless, and has the ability to carry it off- and bring it all to a satisfying resolution.
