On Our Own Terms: Moyers On Dying

"Death, which sooner or later comes to all, is treated as a strangely taboo subject in America. In this program, veteran PBS journalist Bill Moyers describes the search for new ways of thinking--and talking--about dying. Forgoing the usual reluctance that most Americans show toward speaking about death, patients and medical professionals alike come forward to examine the end of life with honesty, courage, and even humor, demonstrating that dying can be an incredibly rich experience for both the terminally ill and their loved ones."--Films Media Group website.

"Explores the subject of death with intimate interviews with patients who are confronting death, doctors who treat the dying, hospice workers, psychiatrists and undertakers. Discusses the limits of treatment, cultural attitudes to death, advance directives, treating the patient and not the disease, and preparation of family and caregivers to embrace a patient's suffering."@en
"Horizon takes a look at hospice care, which provides treatment for the terminally ill. This type of care was pioneered in the 1950s and has grown rapidly ever since. The treatment is not aimed at curing those with terminal illnesses but rather at easing their suffering. Hospice care can be provided at hospitals, at nursing homes, and in the homes of incurably ill patients. When nothing else can be done to stop needless pain, drugs such as heroin are used, giving the patients the best quality of life possible in their last days on earth. In addition to providing care for their patients, hospices also help families to adjust to the loss of loved ones."@en
