BEING MORTAL

"Being Mortal" is a must read for anyone over the age of 50.  The author is physician, Atul Gawande.  He discusses the importance of, not only living a good and fulfilling life, but also living a good life all the way to the end.  It's a book that will lead to a conversation between mid-age adults with their aging parents.  As one of these "old ones", I believe that it's my obligation to ensure that my life and my death will be on my terms and this book definitely provides the guidelines.
