Death, Medicine and Philosophy

Doctors live on the edge of life and death, witnessing how humanity struggles in the face of death and watching as death continually approaches. However, the journey toward death is not solely the experience of patients; who among us does not live our life towards death? This lecture will discuss how the reflections on death within the field of medicine enrich our understanding of death.
