About Being Mortal

Atul Gawande's Being Mortal (2014) examines how modern medicine has changed the experience of aging and dying — arguing that the reflexive drive to extend life has robbed patients of the ability to live and die on their own terms. Gawande is the author of three previous books (Complications, Better, and The Checklist Manifesto) that examine medicine's performance and limits from a surgeon's perspective.
