摘要：Modern society,together with the development of medical technology and scientific innovations contributes to the improvement of life and health as well as to the extension of life expectancy. Several diseases that were considered incurable in the past can be successfully cured now. However,the positive aspects are accompanied by the medicalization of the process of dying and death itself,which are transferred to hospital. As a result,the ill person is left on his/her own. The post-modern society offers two new alternatives of dying: hospices and euthanasia.
