Death and Dying

By -
I've started teaching my course on death and dying, and assembling some Internet resources for use in the class.

Any suggestions for more good material?

    There's a great essay on dying well in Montaigne's Essays, which is probably available online.

    Also: I think Bill Cavanaugh's essay on Oscar Romero entitled "Dying for the Eucharist or being Killed by it" is also a fascinating.

    You're alive! What could possibly qualify you to teach this subject?

    You know, Wabulon, I actually pointed this out to the students on the first day -- I noted that, while I might not look well, I wasn't actually dead, and that my opinion on the topic was really no better than theirs.

    (1) Panda Bob versus Komodo Dragon.

    (2) Billy Crystal from A Princess Bride when he points out that Wesley is just mostly dead.

    How big is the class? Please give us updates.

    I think you will do well because college students seem to respond to people who are sure they are smart and funny, whether or not they are.*

    *I'm not denying that you are smart and funny, just pointing out that confidence in these traits is more important than their presence.
