Memento mori—Latin for “remember that you must die”—may sound grim, but this ancient Stoic reminder is really an invitation to live more deeply by remembering our mortality. Death is not the opposite of life but part of it. When we face our impermanence with honesty and curiosity, fear begins to soften, gratitude deepens, and life itself grows more vivid.
Guest speaker Michael Dewilde discusses the ethics of assisted suiciee. Does respect for the autonomy of an individual, or a callous indifference to the sanctity of life?
