Newsweek article on rethinking end of life care

The current issue of Newsweek includes an article titled “The Case for Killing Granny: Rethinking End of Life Care.” It also seems to be titled “We Need to Talk About Death”.

Although the headline seems a bit sensationalist (it certainly caught my eye, as I was trolling through a database of popular media articles on aging), the piece itself is thoughtful and a decent read. Unsurprisingly, it has also generated a lot of reader comments.

It will be interesting to see how this national conversation on end-of-life care evolves.
