I've just finished reading "Passage" by Connie Willis, which I found very thought-provoking. It's basically a medical thriller - although Connie Willis is regarded as an SF author, I don't think I'd call it SF. It's about a psychologist who's investigating "near death experiences" (NDEs) by interviewing patients in a hospital, and who then agrees to participate in a trial assisting a doctor who's simulating NDEs using a drug. The book has a real "twist in the tail", and I'd thoroughly recommend it.
