discretionary death  

Définition(s)

  • As a result of advances in medical technology and antibiotic therapy, the average life span in Western societies has increased significantly. Most people no longer die from infections or parasitic diseases but from protracted degenerative diseases; for this reason, dying may be a prolonged and painful process.
