Suffering from the late stages of Lou Gehrig's disease, Youk had called upon infamous Michigan pathologist Dr. Jack Kevorkian to help end his life on his own terms. After delivering the videotape to 60 Minutes, Kevorkian was arrested and convicted of manslaughter, despite the fact that Youk's family firmly believed that the ending of his life qualified as a good death. Death is political, as the controversies surrounding Jack Kevorkian and, more recently, Terri Schiavo have shown. While death is a natural event, modern end-of-life experiences are shaped by new medical, demographic, and cultural trends. People who are dying are kept alive, sometimes against their will or the will of their family, with powerful medications, machines, and "heroic measures." Current research on end-of-life issues is substantial, involving many fields. Beyond the Good Death takes an anthropological approach, examining the changes in our concept of death over the last several decades. As author James W. Green determines, the attitudes of today's baby boomers differ greatly from those of their parents and grandparents, who spoke politely and in hushed voices of those who had "passed away." Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, in the 1960's, gave the public a new language for speaking openly about death with her "five steps of dying." If we talked more about death, she emphasized, it would become less fearful for everyone. The term "good death" reentered the public consciousness as narratives of AIDS, cancer, and other chronic diseases were featured on talk shows and in popular books such as the best-selling Tuesdays with Morrie. Green looks at a number of contemporary secular American death practices that are still informed by an ancient religious ethos. Most important, Beyond the Good Death provides an interpretation of the ways in which Americans react when death is at hand for themselves or for those they care about. 606 $aDeath$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aDeath$xPsychological aspects 606 $aFuneral rites and ceremonies$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDeath$xSocial aspects 615 0$aDeath$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aFuneral rites and ceremonies 676 $a306.90973 700 $aGreen$b James W.$034153 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452666703321 996 $aBeyond the Good Death$92473844 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01229nam a2200265 i 4500 001 991000754119707536 008 050117s2000 caua b 001 0 eng 020 $a0262590212 035 $ab1326784x-39ule_inst 040 $aDip.to Ingegneria dell'Innovazione$bita 082 00$a006.3$221 245 00$aNatural language processing and knowledge representation :$blanguage for knowledge and knowledge for language /$cedited by ¡ucja M.

Suggesting a shift in the traditional units of analysis away from nationally defined boundaries, this volume considers all of the Americas - and Africa - to encourage students to see the larger interimperial issues which governed behaviour in both the new world and the old. It also provides students with a mechanism for viewing interimperial rivalries from the largest possible perspective, 410 0$aRewriting Histories 607 $aAmerica$xHistory$yTo 1810 607 $aAmerica$xSocial conditions 607 $aAmerica$xCivilization$xEuropean influences 607 $aAmerica$xCivilization$xAfrican influences 607 $aAmerica$xHistory$y1810- 676 $a970 701 $aKarras$b Alan L$01521327 701 $aMcNeill$b John Robert$0281411 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783742303321 996 $aAtlantic American societies$93813069 997 $aUNINA
