Physician and author KENNETH ISERSON

2: Physician and author KENNETH ISERSON. ISERSON wanted to promote organ and tissue donation, so he wrote a book about what happens to dead bodies. It's called "Death to Dust" (Galen Press). ISERSON believes that death is the pornography of our culture, because after-death activities are shrouded in secrecy. His book explores the mundane--burial choices and advance directives--and the arcane--head shrinking, cannibalism and cryonic preservation.
