Death is the inevitable end that everybody fears‚ if not for themselves then for their loved ones. As Jean Dubos put it best‚ “Death is a law‚ not a punishment.” Stopping death’s claim that will eventually have everyone is beyond possibility‚ but living life to the fullest until there is no more life to live is one.
