Dying well, to most of us, means a measure of control over how and where we die. Statistics show that each year half the U.S. population is touched by the death of a relative or a close friend. For many, the tragedy of a loved one's death is aggravated by the conflict, crisis and pain that often shadow the end of life. In this unprecedented four-part series, Emmy award-winning journalist Bill Moyers looks at how we die in America, providing an intimate window into the daily experience of patients, their families and their caregivers, including the decisions they face and the changes they undergo. Along with this deeply personal perspective, we meet the medical, legal, and public policy experts who offer suggestions for improving conditions for terminal patients.
