Dr. Steve Mitchinson compares this proposition with his own observations as a palliative care physician, teaching readers to be midwives for those about to emerge into their full humanity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMitchinson asks, \"Have we truly understood how life is intended to be a preparation for our physical death?
