Abstract

I have chosen a topic that is most often talked about in whispers. Why ? Because both, whispering and silence hide fear. All of us, we must admit, are afraid of death. Death is a problem for us doctors, only to the extent that we face it most often, being obliged to “ascertain” and “declare” it.
