Death and Dying

Confronting Death is about the values used in making choices when confronting our life, our dying, and our death. Often these choices involve others. They can be as basic as whether or not to go on with life or they can relate to our feelings, thoughts and attitudes about life's values and goals. The choices examined have long been an integral part of religious considerations and beliefs, but here the author maintains a consistently secular point of view. In examining these issues an attempt is made to tread a path between the principle of the sanctity of life, that life should be maintained over all else, and the position that self-determination and individual choices are sufficient to define the values of a life. In fluctuating between these viewpoints, the author agrees that death is always an evil for the person who dies, and that individuals should have an unrestricted range of choices for death
