"Humans may be on the way out. But at least the humanities are back. Or so some of the tech gods tell us.

“A death doula is a calm, compassionate presence who can be there for dying people and their loved ones in their final moments,” said Kristen Patterson, a death doula and end-of-life planner in Northern Virginia.

Perhaps the current Patient Bill of Rights needs to be updated, as it lacks explicit references to decisional capacity, advance directives, and who may consent if a patient lacks capacity. https://t.co/VRWUIKsvs2…
