It is a brave work that ruminates on aging and people’s dying. In modern society, the old become medicalized, regarded as frail and preparing for death. Older people approaching the end hold on to life with only the assistance of cold, costly, and clinical equipment. At the same time, extravagant suffering deprives these people of dignity and decency. Is this end the best way to say goodbye to life? With a humane vision, a doctor reflects on the health conditions of aging, bringing the topic of human mortality from the context of modern medical science back to everyday life.
