Review: Death and Dying This recent addition to the Opposing Viewpoints series includes chapters on improvement of end-of-life care, how people cope with death, efforts to expand the human life span, and after death. Specific essays discuss hospice, physician-assisted suicide, and advance directives; anger, peace, non-traditional funerals, and grief management; immortality, cryonics and the efforts to extend human life; afterlife, near-death experiences, and reincarnation. The purpose is to provide a wide diversity of opinions and to stimulate readers to further research.--Issues in Law & Medicine, Spring 2004
