114 Words1 Pages
In “Unequal Lives, Unequal Deaths” Sunita Puri argues that death can be “humanity’s great equalizer,” however experiencing death is completely different because a person may not have the luxuries to die peacefully. For example, the person could desire to die at home but because he doesn’t benefit the whole “home hospice” due to the lack of money or dedicated family members then dying at home would make him feel “less comfortable.” The former nurse wants to inform all medical centers so they can feel sympathy towards the patients who experience inequalities during their last few days on earth and take action by providing those patients “comfort and dignity,” regardless of their disadvantages over others.
