Being Mortal – Virtual Platform

Hugh Taft-Morales

Leader, Philadelphia Ethical Society

Few books so effectively combine the mundane and the profound as does Atul Gawande’s Being Mortal. It bemoans the fact that technological society has lost touch with “the art of dying.” No human story is complete without the conclusion of our finite time, and yet as authors of our own life we avoid scripting it. We hardly even discuss it. As a result, we deprive ourselves of an opportunity to craft and savor the miraculous wholeness of life. Hugh Taft-Morales explores Gawande’s insights about medicine, its limits, and what matters in the end.
