3.0 out of 5 stars required reading - conservative approach, September 14, 2009
By 
Norma J. Wallace (Point Richmond CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Last Dance: Encountering Death and Dying (Hardcover)
I have to read this for a sociology class. I am through Chapter 5. The editors do a good job of designing the chapters to cover a diversity of viewpoints. Conclusions in the Financing section are challenged in a new book by TR Reid in "The Healing of America." The book provides a solid overview of issues related to death and dying, very helpful.
