Description
Death is the surest thing in life, yet it is still a taboo subject. Should we be able to choose a time and place to die? Opinions are divided and intensely personal.
When is dicing with death adventurous and heroic? Why do we find it so difficult to talk about dying? Why is there still a stigma attached to suicide? And when is it better to live? Join our discussion on life and death.
