Death is a subject modern society shies away from. Even doctors
avoid the word. But if we regard death as a failure in our desire
to prolong life, can we ever arrive at a humane approach to those
whose lives have lost meaning? Are we keeping people alive simply
because we can? Here, John Humphrys and his co-author Dr Sarah
Jarvis take a wider look at how our attitudes to death have changed
as doctors have learned how to prolong life beyond anything that
could have been imagined only a few generations ago, and confront
one of the great challenges facing the western world today. There
are no easy answers but the first step must surely be to accept
that death can be as welcome as it is inevitable.
