“Death and Dying” by Nicole Piemonte and Shawn Abreu

🕵️🐷🕵️ zero-day🕵️🐷🕵️ "An examination of the contemporary medicalization of death and dying that calls us to acknowledge instead death's existential and emotional realities.

Other eminent scholars ‘overlooked’ by the medical and scientific community,...>>
