"There are seven chapters, addressing philosophical issues pertaining to death, the
badness of death, time and death, ideas on immortality, near death experiences, and
extending life through medical technology. The book is shorter, and less elaborate,
than Kagan's Death. And it goes into more depth about a selection of central issues
related to death and immortality than May's book. It gives an original take on various
basic puzzles pertaining to death, and integrates a discussion of these philosophical
issues with an analysis of near-death experiences, as well as an exploration of contemporary
efforts to extend life by heroic medical means"
