TL;DRAbstract
Although fear at the thought of our dying may feel unavoidable, it's a bad basis from which to make end-of-life decisions. It tends towards two extreme mindsets, either treat-me-at-all-costs or give-me-a-hasty-exit. These mindsets correspond to the two paradigmatic problems in end-of-life care: overtreatment and premature refusal.
