Erasing Death...my book review for you

Product Details Erasing Death: The Science That Is Rewriting the Boundaries Between Life and Death (Hardcover)
With great excitement I bought this book, and found that it was more about resuscitation than the subject of death, and what happens during the dying process and what we call death itself. I have been reading everything I could on this subject since my Dad died,( many many years) because I was only 16, and it was traumatic at that age to lose my young father. If I was just beginning to read about the miracle of death, I would have probably been more excited with the book, but because I read this book from a more experienced point of view, I was disappointed that more information had not been gathered. I wonder, about what happens to the dying person just before death, just before they lose their ability to communicate. Maybe a study of people who have been with the dying would add to the little bit of information that is garnered in the hospitals. It is amazing what people say on their death beds, if you ask!
