After viewing the abridged, 10 minute video of Dr. Randy Pausch's "Last Lecture" located at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyuZWDX55mI, would you say that your views on death and dying have changed at all? If so, in what way(s)? What lessons can we learn from this man facing his own mortality square in the face?

As this is a forum of personal reflection, there is no requirement to supplement your post with an article from the campus library this week.

If you would like to watch the original lecture, you can also find it on the web, but it is over an hour long. Dr. Pausch's own website (including the lecture) can be found here:

www.cs.cmu.edu/~pausch/

For those of you who prefer, this is the link for Dr. Pasusch's transcribed lecture without the video:
