Young people talk about death by Mary McHugh

Young people talk about death by Mary McHugh. Franklin Watts, 1980.

This book is based upon interviews with American high school students, some of whom were studying death as a mini-elective. Chapters include: Talking about death; Growing old; Moral and ethical dilemmas; Suicide; Burial or cremation; Telling children about death; What happens when you die?. The chapters on Growing old and Moral and ethical dilemmas are especially valuable as they are not normally discussed. The latter chapter discusses living wills, the use of marijuana as pain relief and abortion. An interesting book for the questions it raises.
