摘要

摘要：衰老和死亡需要被看作一个单一的现实，衰老和死亡。将它们分开在很大程度上会使我们从衰老中吸取的教训，以及从整体上看待生活和学习新的美、意义、希望和爱的好处付诸东流。作为人类，我们对自己的所有独特体验都与对死亡的认识息息相关。过上充实的生活意味着接受和拥抱死亡，不仅是不可避免的，而且是必要的和可取的。

Accepting and Embracing Our Mortality.

Aging and death need to be seen as a single reality, aging-and-death. Separating them largely voids the lessons to be learned from aging, and the benefits of seeing life as a whole and learning a new sense of beauty, meaning, hope, and love. All the distinctive experiences central to our sense of ourselves as human beings are tied to recognition of our mortality. Living a full life means accepting and embracing death as not only inevitable, but necessary and desirable.

期刊介绍： Perspectives in Biology and Medicine, an interdisciplinary scholarly journal whose readers include biologists, physicians, students, and scholars, publishes essays that place important biological or medical subjects in broader scientific, social, or humanistic contexts. These essays span a wide range of subjects, from biomedical topics such as neurobiology, genetics, and evolution, to topics in ethics, history, philosophy, and medical education and practice. The editors encourage an informal style that has literary merit and that preserves the warmth, excitement, and color of the biological and medical sciences.
