What is meant by the phrase “we all have the duty to die?”

What will be an ideal response?


It concerns the philosophical question concerning care for the terminally ill. The issue is that perhaps terminally ill patients should not be kept alive by heroic means when such intervention only prolongs dying rather than saves a life. The physician’s oath has long been interpreted to require preserving life at all cost. Modern technology has made that concept an expensive and possibly inhumane interpretation.
