註釋

"Fragments on the Deathwatch is a humane and lyrical look at the vigil over the dying. Despite the long cultural traditions and profound psychological benefits of the deathwatch, the institutions of modern life - from hospitals to courtrooms - have intruded in this essential practice." "Through literature, philosophy, history, and autobiography, the author delicately probes the taboos around discussions of death. As a legal scholar, she considers whether the law can recognize the needs of families and loved ones and protect the space of their grieving."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
