The celebrated writer Susan Sontag died a few years ago from a brutal form of blood cancer. She fought her illness to the end and didn't want anyone - including her son - to tell her she was dying. Now that son, David Rieff, has written a memoir of his mother's death. And he tackles a difficult question is there really such a thing as a "good death." In this hour of To the Best of Our Knowledge we'll talk about life's final chapter.
