Death and Dying: Recent Episodes
Aleks Belevska
In this episode we explore how some cultures experience death. Is death finite? Or does it have a greater purpose than just the mere end of a living organism? Can DEATH equate to LIFE?

In this one minute podcast, we explore the consciousness of death. As far back as we can remember the concept of life and death, or more commonly known as the "circle of life", has been an innate characteristic of homo sapiens.

At what point did we evolve consciously to understand what it meant when you saw your mother, father, sibling, or friend, lying, immobile, drawing no breath.
