“There is a call to arms to all of us to talk more about death and radically change our perspectives on this final ‘Age of Man’, an age prolonged, perhaps to our detriment, by medicine's failure to be open with the public.”
In this #online #talk, Dr David Jarrett explores our tendency (both individually and collectively) to deny our own mortality, and offers an impassioned rallying cry for us to start talking frankly and openly about death in this new age of ageing.
[This talk was held online by Conway Hall in 2021, whilst our London venue was closed during the Covid-19 lockdown in the UK]
