Abstract
Problems of death were once never separated from the war (World War II). And it seems that after the end of war people have kept some silence about death. But nowadays death has become once again one of the most crucial issues and the stage is now medicine rather than war. Faced with the problems such as brain-death, organ transplantation and dignity of death, people are coming back to the question ‘What is death?’
Responding to this situation of today, this paper intends to describe the ongoing arguments about death and at the same time to indicate what is missed or not discussed concerning death.
