What kind of medical care and treatment do we want to receive at the end of life? What kind of medicine do we want to practise? What is ethically correct? How is dying possible in a healthcare system designed for high performance and maximum therapy like ours? For various reasons, many questions about dying are more topical than ever.

In a discussion with impulse contributions, the organizers want to give an insight and open up different perspectives.
