Dr Lydia Dugdale: The Lost Art of Dying - Godpod 192

How well do we deal with our own death? What is a ‘technology-dependant death’, and should we want it? Just because we can prolong our lives, should we?These are just some of the questions pondered by our three presenters – Jane Williams, Micheal Lloyd and Graham Tomlin – along with physician and ethicist, Dr Lydia Dugdale.Lydia talks the presenters through the historical shifts that have caused us to go from speaking about death openly and honestly, to having a newfound societal imagination that tells us that ‘death won’t come to us’ – and why that’s a problem.This is one of the most thought-provoking episodes of GodPod yet.For more about Lydia and her bestselling book – The Lost Art of Dying: Lydia S.
