「편안한 자기 집에서 자신다운 행복한 최후를 맞이하는 방법」을 제안한 이 책에서 우에노교수는 이렇게 말하고 있다. 저는 가족이 없이 혼자 살아요. 현재 72세입니다. 이대로 인생의 내리막길로 내려가며, 요양보호를 받고, 혼자 조용히 죽음을 맞이하며, 어느 날 죽은 모습이 발견되었을 때, 그것을 「고독사」라고 불리고 싶지 않습니다. 그것이 이 책의 집필 동기입니다」 전국을 누비며 취재한 돌봄 · 간병인의 최전방도 소개하고 있습니다. 요양 현장은 예상 이상으로 진화하고 있어, 「싱글, 집에서 홀로 죽음을 준비하다」을 가능하게 하는 경험이나 스킬이 축적되어 있다고 집필하고 있다. 또한 여러 명의 싱글을 자택에서 간병한 카리스마 있는 일부 가정의학과 의사들도 등장합니다. 편집 과정에서 저 자신, 돌봄·간호를 담당하는 분들도 보았지만, 한결같이 열심히 그리고 진지한 모습에 머리가

Press Conference: Statement against the Tokyo Olympics

I was deeply impressed even such person lik
