medieval texts Ars Moriendi that set out protocols for dying. The
authors, Dr Peter and Elizabeth Fenwick, argue that, obsessed with
prolonging life, we have lost the habit of helping people to die a good
death. "Hi-tech around the deathbed is sometimes more concerned with
the feelgood factor of the relatives and the medical profession, who
need to feel they have done everything they can, than with the peace
and comfort of the dying," they say.

one of the most memorable TED talks of all time."
