On the death

The intention of this review is to approach the problem of right to decide on its own living or dying. An insight into world wide hospice movement started by Dame Cicely Saunders should be given. Finally it will be dealt with, about how to approach somebody who is dying. Asking for killing, if appears, is in fact objection against inadequate nursing and cry for more human attention. The starting idea of the hospice movement is that the death is natural event as well as the birth. The hospice with his teams wishes to help that the death would be accepted from patients, family and friends, improving at the same time the quality of this terminal part of the life. The most important in handling terminally ill persons, is a desire to help and an understanding of what's going on. The emotions and the reaction that you and the patient may experience should be understood. The human dignity should be emphasized everywhere and especially during the most critical period of human existence during the terminal period of life.
