Donald Starzinski, MD, discusses the endless continuum of a life. At both ends of "life" hangs two intimate concepts. Life is but part of the relationship of birth and death.

Is it necessary, or even possible, to look at clock and announce the time of birth, time of death?

Our lives are, they simply are. Is the same with time? Or, is "time" an unreliable concept, a concept which isn't worthy of marking the beginning and ending of life

In his professional work as a neurologist, Dr. Starzinski was required to look at the wall clock an declare the Time of Death. In this conversation, the flower of life might have no regard for the clock's opinion.
