P&iloso"&ers &a'e assmed t&at deat& "ert ins to t&e essen$e of
&man life, to its eistential fl>llment. Moreo'er, t&e $om"re&ended
a$$e"tan$e of deat& was $onsidered as t&e "reroati'e of man, t&e
'ery to%en of &is freedom. Deat&, and only deat&, bro&t eisten$e
into its own. !ts >nal neation was $onsidered as t&e armation of
man=s fa$lties and ends (eifel, 9787).
Deat& assmed t&e for$e of an instittion w&i$&, be$ase of its 'ital
tility, s&old not be $&aned, e'en if it $old "er&a"s be $&aned.

To Die or Not To Die
Deat& remains a reality t&at relati'ely few "eo"le or fa$e. 1e try
to li'e as if it $old not &a""en to s or to t&ose w&om we lo'e. At t&e
same time we li'e nder a "rimiti'e s&adow of fear. 1&en t&e deat& of
a "arent, $&ild, or lo'ed one o$$rs, we sEer not only rief bt also a
sense of= ilt for not &a'in done more, or for "ast feelins and
t&o&ts. Drin t&e "resent de$ade a new medi$al s"e$ialty &as
ben to emere, %nown as t&anatoloy, or t&e "sy$&oso$ioloy of
deat&. 2rses, "&ysi$ians, and so$ial wor%ers are stdyin and
attendin to t&e "sy$&oso$ial "roblems fa$ed by "atients w&o are
t&reatened wit& deat& "roblems t&at also mst be fa$ed by "atients
w&o are t&reatened wit& deat& "roblems t&at also mst be fa$ed by
t&eir families, friends, and asso$iates.
T&e indi'idal realies t&e de is ine'itable. !t is a "&enomenon
asso$iated wit& life itself. 1&at 4+ do8=t %now is w&en or &ow one=s
own deat& will o$$r. Many intelle$talie deat& as if it "ertains t
anot&er deat&, and not to t&emsel'es. T&is is be$ase we are basi$ally
ftre-oriented, "lannin t&e ftre as if we will li'e fore'er. 1&ile one
is free of illness and t&e t&reat limited ftre, s$& be&a'ior is normal.

!t does not im"ly denial. 0owe'er, as losses of fn$tions or "arts of t&e

many indi'idals is a $o"in me$&anism, one t&at enables t&em to
