Death is as much a part of human existence as is life, yet it remains a mysterious, and often taboo, subject.

     

The focus in on how a terminally ill individual wants to manage his or her dying — with continued medical treatment and support, or with hospice care. The importance of talking with one’s family and preparing advance directives is emphasized in this documentary, which was developed by PBS affiliate Arizona Public Media.

Death with Dignity–Albany presents this film and a following discussion to help take the stigma out of talking about death.

The program is free and registration is not required.

Although a video of the program will not be available, the film itself can be seen at passing-on.org
