Describe a situation in which you think a person should have the right to choose how they die?
Why do you think certain individuals and certain cultures have difficulty talking openly about death and dying?
Have you ever put a pet “down” (i.e., taken it to the vet and been told that the humane thing to do is to chemically end the pet’s life)? How did this affect you and what did it teach you about dying?
Have you thought about what you want your own “good death” to be and what you want to happen after you die? Have you shared this with anyone? (you do not need to share your personal feelings here – this question is about if you have thought about your death and talked about your death).
