What is a good death in the 21st century?

Thu 10 January 2019

King’s College, Cambridge

Is a "good death" something to be valued and aspired to? Is it achievable, manageable - or is it something best left undefined?

This roundtable event brings together speakers whose professional interests in the matter of dying well take very different forms - philosophical to practical, spiritual to biological. In collaboration with the audience, we want to make space for these multiple perspectives on the crucial and universal question of what makes a good death.

Speakers:

Professor Steven Luper, author of The Philosophy of Death (2009), Regius Professor of Philosophy at Trinity University, Texas

Lorraine Moth, community palliative care matron at Arthur Rank Hospice, Cambridgeshire

Reverend Andrew Hammond, Chaplain, King's College Cambridge

Dr Pantelis Nicola, NHS doctor

Dr Mehrunisha Suleman, researcher in ethics and global health, currently focusing on Muslim perspectives on end-of-life care. Research associate at the HRH Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Centre of Islamic Studies
