Click to listen to intensive care specialist Dr. Peter Saul give his presentation titled "Let's talk about dying" given at one of the ubiquitous TEDxTalks.
Not exactly an upbeat talk, as Saul acknowledges, but worth listening to. He highlights two questions to ask others:
- In the event that you can no longer speak for yourself, whom do you want to speak for you?
- Have you talked with this person?
Other subjects covered:
- He jokingly suggested Occupy Death: Sit-ins in the mortuary?
- How we die lives on in those who remain behind us.
- He hates euthanasia and discusses why.
- "You matter because you are. You matter to the last moment of your life."--Dame Cicely Saunders, M.D. Founder of hospice
