Opis

Modern medicine has ended almost all involuntary death. If your brain and body are intact, you'll be back to normal within days. Cancer is eradicated. 3-D printers provide instant replacements for damaged organs. People's lives are continuing indefinitely. But Richard Barker doesn't see this as progress. He sees it as playing God, destroying a cycle of life and death that has served humanity for millennia. As Richard's philosophy gains a larger following, and he pulls his family into the fold, he pushes forward with the plan he's preaching-kill those who would have died if not for meddling doctors, and make sure they stay dead. Set as an alternate vision of today, Killing the Immortals delivers a terrifying version of reality where science has achieved one of humanity's most cherished dreams, and it's turning into a nightmare.
