Good Death Society Blog Holiday Schedule and a Song

There will be no post for December 30

Posts will resume on January 6, 2020

UPDATE:  The Hastings Center has posted a slightly edited version of the December 6 post from this blog about MAID as a human right.  The Center is an independent, nonprofit, nonpartisan bioethics research institute based in Garrison, New York. It was instrumental in establishing the field of bioethics. Its mission is to address ethical issues in health care, science, and technology. “Is Medical Aid in Dying a Human Right? Another View” can be found here.

I end this year and begin the new one with a song written by Pete Seeger, who would have been 100 years old this year. He died in 2014 and left us this wish.

Well May the World Go        [YouTube performance here]

Well may the world go

The world go, the world go

Well may the world go

When I’m far away

 

Well may the skiers turn

The swimmers churn, the lovers burn

Peace, may the generals learn

When I’m far away

 

Well may the world go

The world go, the world go

Well may the world go

When I’m far away

 

Sweet may the fiddle sound

The banjo play the old hoedown

Dancers swing round and round

When I’m far away

 

Well may the world go

The world go, the world go

Well may the world go

When I’m far away

 

Well may the world go

The world go, the world go

Well may the world go

When I’m far away

 

Fresh may the breezes blow

Clear may the streams flow

Blue above, green below

When I’m far away

 

Well may the world go

The world go, the world go

Well may the world go

When I’m far away

 

Well may the world go

The world go, the world go

Well may the world go

When I’m far away
