Abstract / Description of output
The last ten years have seen a significant change in pharmaceuticals and

by Amy Hardie, this essay traces the development of an expanded cinema to
reach a complex engagement with our own mortality, illuminating the questions from Professor Howie: how do we live well right up to death?
