"Without insight into the limits of what is possible, we cannot be happy." Modern medicine suggests omnipotence and the idea of a life that can be perfected at any time. However, when we are plunged into existential crises due to illness, our perspective on things changes. We then seek human answers and often feel misunderstood and abandoned within the system of modern medicine. Professor Giovanni Maio, a powerful advocate for a new medical culture of mindfulness, poses fundamental questions in this book that no one can truly evade: Where do the promises of reproductive and transplantation medicine lead us? To what extent is health achievable - and to what extent is it a gift? Does the promise of "more beautiful, better, more capable" bring greater happiness? Why is the question of organ donation more complex than we are led to believe? What does it mean to grow old?.
