giving With Our Mortality:
ijj Medical Ethical & Spiritual Aspects of Dying Saturday, April 10, 1999 • 9 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. Winchester Medical Center Conference Center To be a human being is to live with the knowledge that we will die. The challenge of death — one's own, or that of a loved one — is multi-dimensional. It touches us emotionally, spiritually, ethically, and financially. It forces us to make difficult decisions: What medical treatment is best? When is it time to turn to hospice for support? What kind of funeral should be planned? What about cremation as opposed to burial? Should organs be donated? How can the material and financial security of loved ones be protected? Please join us for a unique interdisciplinary exploration of the spiritual, ethical and medical forces that shape our response to the end of life. The program includes time for questions and visits with a variety of exhibitors relating to advance directives, hospice, pain management organ donation, insurance, nursing home care, and funeral planning.
