Two and a half million people die in this country every year, most in hospitals, where keeping terminally ill people alive seems to be more important than allowing them to die with dignity. Death, at one time a family and community affair, has become a medical event, a technological battlefield often leading to a prolonged and unwittingly cruel death. Why? |
