After delivering the videotaped death to 60 Minutes, Kevorkian was arrested and convicted of manslaughter, despite the fact that Youk’s family firmly believed that the ending of his life qualified as a good death. Beyond the Good Death takes an anthropological approach, examining the changes in our concept of death over the last several decades. Most important, perhaps, Beyond the Good Death provides an interpretation of the ways in which Americans react when death is at hand for themselves or for those they care about.
