    Some of the issue brought up by the documentary “How to Die in Oregon” are: • Stress in the family members: Looking at the several cases in the documentary, it is imperative that witnessing the loved ones die in front of us, is very challenging for the rest of the family members. As in Roger’s case, while he was asked if he knows what kind of decision he has made, he admits that he wants to die happily, and as he drinks the medication and lay down in his bed, he says “Ah! It’s coming, my head is hanging low, and I am hearing the voice calling me”, which was very touching. Also in Peter’s case, when his wife Gail was asked how she would react about her husband’s decision, she bursts into tears and says “This is the way he has thought for a long time.…

    The way a person dies could be the complete opposite, their death is set without a way to change it and everything that person does in his or her lifetime, leads to their end, whether it’s disastrous or peaceful. I personally haven’t experienced any deaths within my family, including pets, but I have witnessed how other family members react when a deceased person’s birthday comes close or when the anniversary of that person’s death is near. Usually when the family member is unoccupied, they begin to think more about the person/pet that died and realize how long it has been and how much they miss their friend, pet, and/or family member. When the members in my family died, I wasn’t born yet, so I wasn’t able to get to know them and grieve for their loss as bad as others might. When a person goes through a death or something that you haven’t experienced, it’s hard to realize the amount of pain that person has gone through and the struggles they had to overcome and maybe still have to…

    The most notable one that stuck with me was when the tragedy of red-haired Alexander happened, “The ore bucket had hit him in the shaft’s bottom and he died instantly” (119). The family members that worked at the Sudbury mine with him quit their job when they were all not allowed time off to attend his funeral. This shows how close the family is and how much every single one of them meant to each other, because you would not just quit your job for anyone. Alexander was at the start of his career, having just finished college and had a really big opportunity when red-haired Alexander was killed. He gave up his opportunity in order to help his brother when they were short one man when they were re-hired back at the mine.…

It is said that it is man’s nature to fear what they do not understand and cannot control. We can never know precisely what death is unless we die, therefore we can never understand it while living. When looking at the sociological approach towards death we come across ‘death-denying’.…
