Initial questions about dying

Not everyone must answer all the prompts.  You can answer as groups and/or individuals.  The goal here is a rich discussion.

Prompts:
* How do you want to die?  Where do you want to die?
* How would you determine what is 'appropriate care'?  Is doing nothing ever appropriate?  When?
* What is a good death?
* How is death removed from us?
* Do you have an obligation to care for a family member who is dying?  At what cost to yourself?
* How would you negotiate between the patient and close family?  Is the patient the unit of care?  The patient + family?  How often?  Under what circumstances?
