BEING MORTAL (PB)

As medical advances push the boundaries of survival further each year, we have become increasingly detached from the reality of being mortal. So here is a book about the modern experience of mortality - about what it's like to get old and die, how medicine has changed this and how it hasn't, where our ideas about death have gone wrong. The ultimate goal, after all, is not a good death, but a good life - all the way to the very end.
