Rarely are human dilemmas out of the news. And what medical science can do and ought to do—or ought not to do—impinges on our personal lives, families and societies. John Wyatt examines the issues surrounding the beginning and end of life against the background of current medical-ethical thought.

Yet one topic remained undisclosed: Willard's understanding of heaven and eternal life.

Caleb Wilde, author of the acclaimed memoir Confessions of a Funeral Director, was a skeptic.
