This week, the New York Times published an opinion essay by Dr. Daniela Lamas describing former President Jimmy Carter's decision to enter hospice early as a fitting final gift from a former president to Americans who've long hesitated to face their morality. I agree with Dr. Lamas' assessment and noted in a Letter to the Editor that Mr. Carter's real gift may be helping us all to overcome our reservations and misguided stereotypes about hospice care.
