4. Findings

    thanatos*
        mortality
        standing at the doorway
        and she
        disease and all
        staring it in the face
        mentally capable
        of decision making
        the pain
        cutting close to the bone
    better off dead
    who said that
    about whom
        competent to live
        competent to die
        competent to decide
            either way

(Poem written by a participant after a focus group session)
* “Thanatos” is the Greek word for “death.”
