When it comes to our lives, are we putting too much emphasis on the quantity of our years…rather than the quality of them? In a world of constant scans, screenings and so on, some argue that our healthcare system pushes us towards the idea of longevity, even though death is so often out of our control. Is there a better way? Our guest this hour says we’re all too often killing ourselves to live longer, and perhaps it’s time to rethink many of the attitudes we have about death, in order to live a better life.
