Fruto de um trabalho etnográfico, o livro Em Busca da Boa Morte, de Rachel Aisengart Menezes, aborda o novo ideário, conhecido como paliativista, que coloca em questão a morte fria e desprotegida no hospital – desse modo, o que se procura aqui é refletir acerca de um processo de mudança cultural, de contornos ainda pouco precisos, mas que, inegavelmente, procura humanizar o momento da morte, encarando a relação médico-paciente sob um outro ponto de vista . Trata-se de uma obra que traz à tona questões sobre a Ética no mundo contemporâneo, que banaliza a morte ou simplesmente não fala dela. Desse modo, o novo ideário constitui-se como uma resposta possível, mesmo que ainda ligada, à onisciência e onipresença da Medicina, quando o discurso médico já não possui respostas, conscientizando-se das suas limitações.

Death has been deemed the "great equalizer," but each journey towards our shared, ultimate fate is unique. The length of our lives, the quality of our last days, how our deaths are perceived by others, and the handling of our remains are governed by nature and many socio-cultural factors. Unequal Before Death is an edited collection that addresses inequalities surrounding death from the perspectives of scholars in a wide range of humanistic and social science disciplines, including art histor...
