For the past eight years, Death Over Dinner has been researching death questions, cataloging and testing the most pressing questions we have about end of life. A year ago we started asking dozens of end of life experts these questions and recording their remarkable answers. In preparation for the the release of DEATH FAQ, we are hosting a lively evening - of questions, answers and general exploration - with some of our brilliant friends.
Please join Michael Hebb and a panel of his friends as we consider the questions that keep us up at night. Ticket holders will be able to submit questions to the panel prior to the event. Michael will be joined by Dr. Joon Yun, Dr. Dawn Gross, Sandy Gibson, Alua Arthur, Brad Wolfe, and some surprise guests.
