Death is the ultimate critical event. Death: the mystery upon which philosophers have pondered and devised entire systems of approaching life. Death: the impetus for the value frameworks in the world s many religions. Death: the challenge to scientists in a wide range of disciplines. Once, death was very much a part of most people`s daily lives. They expected some of their children to die in infancy or childhood. They saw family and friends succumb to an array of fatal illness. People feared death and yet they accepted its presence, hovering in the corners of their lives. Recently, people have developed a healthier attitude toward death — an attitude that seeks to understand it, to explore the emotional, the moral, and the practical issues surrounding it and to try to make this inevitable outcome of a person`s life as positive as possible. Thanatology — the study of death and dying, is arousing a great deal of interest as people recognize the importance of integrating death into life.
