End-of-Life Care: Desensitizing or Sensitizing?

Bobby Schindler recently wrote that the "vast majority of the mainstream media, by the manner in which they report on this issue, [are] desensitizing the general public when it comes to how we treat our medically vulnerable."



It never ceases to amaze me how people can look at opposite sides of the same coin and see such different things.  The same efforts that Schindler characterizes as "desensitizing" are seen and defended my many others as appropriately "sensitizing" individuals and society about the importance of advance care planning.
