Peter Saul:Lets talk about dying00:11 Look, I had second thoughts, really, about whether I could talk about this to such a vital and alive audience as you guys. Then I remembered the quote from Gloria Steinem, which goes, The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off. So –00:31 So with that in mind, Im going to set about trying to do those things here, and talk about dying in the 21st century.
