Showing titles in Death & Dying

If I Should Die Before I Wake leads listeners on a quest to understand what it means to be a human being unbound from materialistic society.

He smiled confidently, unbothered by her bald scalp. Lexi softly returned the smile. Neither of them aware how this moment would entwine them forever.

A diferencia de la vida, la ciencia carece de límites. Los inconmensurables avances de la tecnología médica han prolongado, no siempre para bien, la vida. Cuando privan la desesperanza, el dolor, el sufrimiento y el desasosiego, y se prolonga la muerte por el uso inadecuado de la biomedicina, el ser humano tiene derecho a elegir cuándo y cómo morir. Adueñarse del final es un privilegio. Hacerlo dignifica a la persona, ilumina su historia y enaltece a quienes acompañan al enfermo y caminan a su lado el tramo final.

Пока человек жив, он мало задумывается над тем, ЧТО ожидает его, возможно, уже в следующую секунду: ведь сколько прекрасных строк оборвалось на полуслове и скольким добрым делам так и не суждено было исполниться лишь только потому, что люди в суете житейской всё самое лучшее и необходимое постоянно откладывали и продолжают откладывать «на потом», забывая о том, что в следующее мгновение этого «потом» у них уже может и не быть вовсе.
