GIAN DOMENICO BORASIO – ON DYING
Beyond myths and taboos

A dialogue on the end of life:
What do we know about dying, and how do we prepare for it?

From pain management and psychosocial support to spiritual and medical care, he highlights what people really need at the end of life. With a clear-eyed perspective, he dispels myths and provides practical guidance on living wills and advance care directives within the Swiss context.

An event in collaboration with the Friedhof Forum of the City of Zurich and Versus Verlag as part of the book festival ‘Zürich liest’.
