Michel Friedman and Alena Buyx

In this issue, Michel Friedman speaks with Alena Buyx about dying: What does it mean to be mortal—and why is it so difficult to talk about death? Who decides when enough is enough: medicine, morality, or the individual?



Is a slow death more humane than a sudden one, a planned death easier to bear than one endured? How much control over death is reasonable? And what does dealing with death reveal about life itself—about fears, values, and boundaries?
