Abstract
Palliative care has encouraged medicine to be gentler in its acceptance of death, yet medical services in general continue to regard death as something to be resisted, postponed, or avoided. David Clark examines the challenge facing doctors to balance technical intervention with a humanistic approach to their dying patients.
