As adults many of us find the topic frightening and are【85】to think about it—and certainly not to talk about it【86】the presence of someone who is dying. Death has achieved this taboo【87】only in the modem industrial societies. There seems to be an important mason for our reluctance to【88】the idea of death. It is the very fact that death remains【89】our control; it is almost the only one of the natural processes【90】is so.
