Show Notes

Many of us want to die peacefully alone at home, but since the advent of medical procedures elongating the human life span, our elder population die, often painfully, in cold institutions. Host Dan Loney speaks with retired physician Sam Harrington, who lays out alternative and practical end-of-life steps for older patients’ health care in his new book "At Peace: Choosing a Good Death After a Long Life" on Knowledge@Wharton.
