<P>From the earliest civilizations to present day, humans have sought to understand death. Today, technology complicates our conceptions of what it means to die, and what it means to be alive. This book presents the latest scientific research behind artificial life, the quest for immortality, the difference between human life and animal and plant life, and other topics. It separates scientific fact from conjecture, stimulating critical thinking and continued investigation of questions that shape our lives.</P>
