The first area of investigation was of conceptsof death evidenced at the child's various developmental stages, asdocumented in numerous psychological studies. The second areastudied was the various reactions to death which a child mightdisplay. The third area discussed was the culturalattitudes of present day American society toward death, wiyh special emphasis on howthese attitudes influence the child's conception of death. Lastly, areview was made of American children's literature from colonialtimes to the present, noting the treatment of death as a reflection ofthe cultural values of each era. Twenty-two books ofjuvenile fiction, for children up to age 12, were evaluated in termsof their treatment of death as a major theme. Most of the books were found tobe of outstanding value in acquainting the young child withwholesome death concepts, were psychologically valid, and complied with accepted socialattitudes toward the subject.

Likewise in Dutch ,‟DEAD‟ is dood and “kill” is doden. In Swedish, “DEAD” is dod and „Kill‟ is doda.

Universidade de Brasília (UnB), Hospital Universitário de Brasília, Brasília/DF, Brasil. 2. Secretaria de Estado de Educação do Distrito Federal, Brasília/DF, Brasil. Resumo Estado vegetativo persistente é condição clínica definida como período prolongado, de seis meses a um ano, em estado de coma, sendo somente possível com tecnologia médica. Em alguns países, é lícito aos responsáveis legais solicitar a suspensão de nutrição enteral a esses pacientes, o que certamente leva a óbito em intervalo de poucos dias. É necessária terminologia para diferenciar limitação terapêutica, negligência e eutanásia. A limitação terapêu- tica surge no momento de intercorrências agudas em pacientes crônicos terminais, enquanto a eutanásia é pedido de morte controlada. Conclui-se, portanto, que a retirada intencional de suporte nutricional a esses pacientes é prática de eutanásia. Palavras-chave: Lesões encefálicas traumáticas. Cuidados paliativos. Eutanásia. Gastrostomia. Cuidados paliativos na terminalidade da vida.

  • Causes of Death and Comorbidities in Hospitalized Patients with COVID-19
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Causes of death and comorbidities in hospitalized patients with COVID‑19 Sefer Elezkurtaj1*, Selina Greuel1, Jana Ihlow1, Edward Georg Michaelis1, Philip Bischof1,2, Catarina Alisa Kunze1, Bruno Valentin Sinn1, Manuela Gerhold1, Kathrin Hauptmann1, Barbara Ingold‑Heppner3, Florian Miller4, Hermann Herbst4, Victor Max Corman5,6, Hubert Martin7, Helena Radbruch7, Frank L. Heppner7,8,9 & David Horst1* Infection by the new corona virus strain SARS‑CoV‑2 and its related syndrome COVID‑19 has been associated with more than two million deaths worldwide. Patients of higher age and with preexisting chronic health conditions are at an increased risk of fatal disease outcome. However, detailed information on causes of death and the contribution of pre‑existing health conditions to death yet is missing, which can be reliably established by autopsy only. We performed full body autopsies on 26 patients that had died after SARS‑CoV‑2 infection and COVID‑19 at the Charité University Hospital Berlin, Germany, or at associated teaching hospitals. We systematically evaluated causes of death and pre‑existing health conditions. Additionally, clinical records and death certifcates were evaluated. We report fndings on causes of death and comorbidities of 26 decedents that had clinically presented with severe COVID‑19. We found that septic shock and multi organ failure was the most common immediate cause of death, often due to suppurative pulmonary infection. Respiratory failure due to difuse alveolar damage presented as immediate cause of death in fewer cases. Several comorbidities, such as hypertension, ischemic heart disease, and obesity were present in the vast majority of patients.

  • ABSTRACT End of Life Care Among Muslims, Hindus, and Christians In
    ABSTRACT End of Life Care among Muslims, Hindus, and Christians in Central Texas Shail Vyas Director: Dr. Candi Cann In this study, I attempted to examine how religion, as well as other various social factors, affect end of life care decisions among Central Texas Christians, Hindus, and Muslims. First, interviews were conducted with religious leaders at places of worship in each religious tradition. Next, respondents from each congregation were given religiosity surveys and answered questions in group interviews. Outside of religion, it became clear that family input and age of the patient play a large role in decisions individuals make. Muslims in this study put the most focus on predestination of human decisions, as well as the hope family members have in medical professionals. Hindus felt that no decision could be made without understanding the suffering and pain of the dying person. Both Hindus and Christians believed the agent behind physician-assisted suicide or euthanasia changed the morality of the action. Going forward, more research on the practical aspects of religious morality in the field of medicine should be aspired towards.

  • ABSTRACT Death Criteria: Social, Religious, and Clinical
    ABSTRACT Death Criteria: Social, Religious, and Clinical Considerations on What It Takes to Die Cameron Bradley Strong Director: William G. Hoy, DMin, FT Advancing medical technology in the twentieth century has blurred the line between certain death and potential life. Patients who would face imminent death without support may now be maintained for a period of time. Efforts to define death according to criteria began in 1968 with arguments for neurological criteria for death. Since then, brain death has become a stage in bioethics for discussions of what constitutes life and what it takes to die. A declaration of death carries social, spiritual, and clinical importance, however defining death requires an examination of what criteria must be met in order to declare death in a clinical setting. A death criterion is a social construct created by people and informed by religion that demonstrates an attempted understanding of what death is and how it may be recognized. Clinicians benefit from a better understanding of death and how patients view death by providing more meaningful care and respectful treatment of such a delicate yet universal topic.
