Question

Let's talk about health, life and death. I found this video, the last one of David Bowie's before his death, very powerful. As most of us are going to be going into healthcare we are going to be confronted by death. Even if we are not going into medicine, death is the one thing we cannot escape.

For this DB lets have fun. Discuss, surmise and imagine ourselves in the shoes of those we watch on TV, in the movies or on the stage. You can talk about the artist's life, diagnosis, treatment or anything that strikes you as interesting. You can compare and contrast their lives with those you know, or even you. Please make sure your primary post is at least 350 words.

Reply to your peers (at least two) with well thought out and meaningful replies.  

Here are the Lyrics to Lazarus. Please take a look at the video and let me know what you think. I would love to hear your opinions. Have fun! Delena

Health is a person's physical or mental condition. A healthy person is one who is free from any sort of mental or physical illness and is living a happy life.

Life is a cycle in which every living being has to play their part for a period of time. The time period might differ for everyone from species to species. Everyone has a purpose in life for which they are born and to fulfill that purpose is the eternal goal. This same purpose can shape life decisions, cultivate new goals, and also influence behavior.

Death is the culmination, The end of everything. All living species are met by death at the end of their life cycle. It is not the same for everyone. It can happen because of natural causes, Terminal illness, accidents, or something life-threatening. To put it Scientifically, Death is the permenent cessation of all biological functions that form the basis of life for all human beings. Each day hundreds and thousands of people die because of various reasons.
