Books like Soulminder by Timothy Zahn
After a car accident leaves his family shattered, Dr. Adrian Sommers dedicates himself to developing Soulminder, a medical innovation that can capture a dying person’s life essence and keep it in stasis while doctors heal the body. Years of experimentation culminate in a successful first trial, making Sommers a pioneer in a new field. The dawn of this technology, however, immediately attracts those who see its potential for corruption—ranging from illicit body‑swapping and obstruction of justice to extortion and the elusive pursuit of immortality. Sommers faces the moral and practical dilemmas that arise when his invention threatens to outgrow its original compassionate purpose.
