The Ventilator
Hidden Brain About this episode
<p>Many of us believe we know how we’d choose to die. We have a sense of how we’d respond to a diagnosis of an incurable illness. This week, we revisit a 2019 episode featuring one family’s decades-long conversation about dying. What they found is that the people we are when death is far in the distance may not be the people we become when death is near.</p><p><i>If you enjoyed today's episode, here are some more classic Hidden Brain episodes you might like:</i></p><p><a href="https://hiddenbrain.org/podcast/the-tale-of-the-cowboy-philosopher/"><i>The Cowboy Philosopher</i></a></p><p><a href="https://hiddenbrain.org/podcast/when-you-need-it-to-be-true/"><i>When You Need It To Be True </i></a></p><p><a href="https://hiddenbrain.org/podcast/me-myself-and-ikea/"><i>Me, Myself, and Ikea </i></a></p><p><i>Thanks for listening! </i></p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
