Why you should be discussing your death wishes

Ellie O’Byrne meets the people behind an end of life conference, including keynote speaker Jenny Kitzinger, the academic breaking the taboo around dying.

“There are people who tell me that they’re worried that if they talk about death, or write down their wishes for death, that they’ll die. And my usual answer is, ‘I hate to tell you this, but if you don’t write down your wishes, you’re still going to die.’”

Professor Jenny Kitzinger wants us all to talk about death, and how we would choose to die.
