‘Under normal circumstances death
           is a natural thing. The point is that
           people who must die should die in

           some comfort, not like a dog in the
           street, they shouldn’t suffer and should

           be assisted till the end. It isn’t only up
           to the doctor. It depends on the nurses,
           on the general atmosphere in the ward.

           The point is to make a dying man still
           see the sun – and this is what depends

           on the atmosphere, or us. What
           remained from those times, however,
           is the belief that life itself is the greatest

           value’.
