Americans spend a lot of time living the good life…but we don’t think much about how we die. Ten years after The Institute of Medicine took a good look at end of life issues, a conference at Duke University asks, where are we now? Faith and medical leaders including Rabbi Mark Popovsky, the Coordinator of Jewish Chaplaincy New York Presbyterian Hospital; Richard Payne, Professor of Medicine and Divinity and the Director of the Duke Institute on Care at the End of Life; Imam Abdul-hafeez Waheed, Advisor to the Muslim student association at Duke University and Charles Wiley, Associate for Theology, Office of Theology and Worship, Presbyterian Church USA, join host Frank Stasio to discuss the intersection of medicine and spirituality at the end of life.
