Currently, the reality that ‘‘young people may die; old people have to’’ is sometimes lost on families and physicians alike [3]. In the past, death occurredshortly after thedevelopment of refractory hypoxia and/or a significant decrease in level of consciousness. Now deathisoftenatechnologicallysupported and often prolonged experience [4,5]. Difficulties in accurate prognostication [6] contribute to this process of care, but even in diseases where the prognosis is clear, collusion can leave many family members poorly prepared [7]. There is evidence that the aggressive treatments before death may be inversely associated withthequalityofthedeath[8].
