General Analysis of the Book
ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK
“Being Mortal” by Atul Gawande explores the challenges of aging, illness, and end-of-life care, highlighting the struggle between maintaining independence and the need for assistance. The book examines how modern medicine often focuses on prolonging life rather than ensuring quality of life, leading to difficult decisions for the elderly and their families. Through personal stories and professional insights, Gawande discusses the emotional and ethical dilemmas surrounding aging and death. He advocates for more compassionate care that prioritizes dignity, personal choice, and meaningful living, offering valuable lessons on navigating life's final chapters with respect and understanding.
