Fabrice Hadjadj's Anti-Method for Living and Dying
In a society where success is the sole good and duty, Fabrice Hadjadj's book 'Réussir sa mort' (Succeeding at Your Death) challenges conventional approaches to mortality. The subtitle 'anti-méthode pour vivre' (anti-method for living) signals a perspective that affirms the sacredness of earthly life tied to immortality, rejecting both suicide (since Saint Augustine) and murder, while not marginalizing death. The work critiques contradictory advice on suicide or therapeutic obstinacy under the ethically correct banner of 'dying with dignity.'
