LUNCH MATTERS
On Our Own Terms: Moyers on Dying - Living with Dying (Part II)
Post-screening discussion moderated by Robert Chodo Campbell
A Co-Sponsored by the Rubin Museum of Art and the New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care
Seventy-four percent of Americans believe in an afterlife, but how does that belief bridge the gap between life and death? ALS patient Nancy Martinez is cared for in Florida. Dying is a part of life that each person, in every American community, approaches with different attitudes, beliefs and wishes. As the process of dying is prolonged by advances in medical knowledge, we face increasingly complicated choices as individuals and as a society. And most of us don’t want to talk about it. Through the personal accounts of people facing death, "Living With Dying" explores the choices we make at the end of life.
