Our book group is reading Being Mortal, by surgeon and Harvard Professor Atul Gawande. It's an examination of how we should respond to the end of life. The first two-thirds of the book discussed nursing homes and alternative approaches. Now I'm reading about hospice care. It's an interesting topic to explore, and very relevant to most of it. I like his common-sense, compassionate approach.

There's also an interview of Gawande on the PBS Frontline program:
