„To be or not to be“ quotation from the hospice patient´s point of view
21 hospice patiens were asked about meaning of their lives. All of them but one valued their individual lives absolutely. For women, the family and children were most important, for men it was health, occupation and work generally. Religious faith in God wasn´t always connected with the belief in post-mortal life. Nobody agreed with euthanasia (from the common point of view).
Keywords: hospice, meaning of life, Religious faith, euthanasia.
