This course probes mortality, its psychological and social consequences, and the problems it poses for modern Americans.  Combining history and recent research findings, the course illuminates such little-discussed issues as grief, euthanasia, suicide, life after death, the dying patient, widowhood, and the impact of the threat of world holocaust. This course satisfies the Gordon Rule writing requirement. A grade of "C" or higher must be attained.
