title: [The last things of man].
abstract: The so-called last things of man pertain not only to the termination of human life but paradoxically to the quality of life as a whole. The author discusses the meaning of human life the true character and limited time of which is determined by the finality of human existence. The phenomenon of tabooing death has not been avoided by any modern society, in this country this phenomenon persists longer. The ultimative solution of the situation is due to the present position of problematic, so-called dignified dying, in our hospitals. A philosophical reflection explaining that the sense of life cannot be conceived without understanding of the relationship between death and life. Demand of "humanization" of dying.
