For centuries, Tibetan Buddhists have practiced a unique funeral rite called a "Sky Burial", where a monk would lay the deceased on a mountainside platform for vultures to consume.
But dying looks nothing like it did in past generations. As legislation, science, and attitudes change, we need to ask ourselves what it means—and if it's possible—to end life well in the 21st century.
The Walrus presents "The End: How We Die Now", a digital series on the nature of dying, mourning and choosing to end one's life. Check out the rest of the series at TheWalrus.ca/Death.
