“I’m not afraid of death. It’s just that I don’t want to be there when it happens.” – Woody Allen

Death is a part of life. This conversation will be a forum for religious, scientific, spiritual, logical, and all other views concerning this topic. We will consider how civilizations or persons in particular have been obsessed with the theme of death and how they dealt with it. We will discuss it from the religious, metaphysical, and traditional points of view. We will discuss the grieving process.

This conversation will touch upon whatever concerns the class has. I will prepare some PowerPoint slides but I look forward to strong class participation. Hospices, euthanasia, legacy sites, cremation, and so on are all acceptable topics.
