Civic Engagement and Life at the end of life: four stories that lead to questions

Pollack, Robert

In "Civic Engagement and Life at the End of Life: Four Stories That Lead to Questions," Robert Pollack shares personal stories that explore the intersection of civic responsibility, empathy, and end-of-life care. Pollack discusses his experiences with initiatives like the Center for the Study of Science and Religion and the "At Your Service" program, which pairs Columbia University students with terminally ill patients. Through these stories, Pollack raises questions about the role of empathy in service, the ethical considerations of end-of-life care, and the importance of reciprocal relationships in both personal and professional contexts.
