On dying
- Where: Václav Havel Library, Ostrovní 13, Prague 110 00
- When: October 19, 2016, 17:00 – 19:00
Dying is a subject that is complicated and, for many, hard to comprehend and tabooised. Should we speak about dying at all? Why do we avoid even mentioning it, or at least try to tiptoe around it? Is it at all possible (and how) to prepare for the fact that departure from this world will also one day also affect us and our loved ones?
We will seek answers to these and other questions with sociologist Jiřina Šiklová, palliative medicine specialist Irena Závadová, hospice director Jiří Krejčí and moral philosopher and theologian Jaromír Matějek.
Discussion chaired by Stáňa Lekešová.
In cooperation with the Committee of Good Will, Olga Havlová Foundation.
