Síntesis:
Chronicles the life of Nobel Prize-winning physician Dr. Don Thomas, who developed the procedure of bone marrow transplantation, which became a cure for every marrow-based disease, including leukemia, lymphoma, and sickle-cell anemia. Examines the scientific and societal implications of this achievement, and explores how marrow transplantation paved the way for other gene- and cell-based therapies that have revolutionized the practice of medicine. Includes black-and-white photographs.
