A panel discussion on the controversial topic of voluntary death by fasting, the deliberate renunciation of food and fluids. It is organised by the Friedhof Forum together with Palliaviva, a specialised mobile palliative care home-care service in the canton of Zurich. Experts, including a nurse and a consulting physician from Palliaviva as well as a relative, examine the myths surrounding the practice and its possible consequences for patients and those around them. Moderated by Marie-Therese Maeder, the discussion takes place within the room installation "Zehn Leben - Die Geschichte einer Stadt".
