Thanatology, the study of death and dying, is a medical specialty of recent establishment. Over the past two or three decades, there has been a marked increased interest in this topic and in the number of articles and books devoted to its discussion. It has been said that this development is due to a lifting of earlier taboos against public discussion and that the medical profession had been remiss in its failure to provide a more open, forthright airing of its experience with death.
