Sounds like it may be useful for those suffering from terminal illnesses.

From the article:

"Many people, and that includes doctors and academics, say: what's the point of research if it's not going to prolong life? But that isn't the point. Quality is crucial: research is quite clear that most people would choose quality of life over length of life."

Indeed, maybe for academics is not that interesting as a topic. Same for therapists and hospitals. People receive training for all sort of activities, why not preparing training also for people that have to deal with death? Is positivism really the only thing that science can offer on this matter?
