When “death café” leaps to my eye, the first thing I associate with it is depression and desperation. Indeed, not just me, almost everyone harbors a sense of awe when things are relevant to the death. People evade the theme of death subconsciously and even evade the theme of talking about the death. John Underwood initially identifies people’s uncomfortableness of talking the death, additionally, he mentions that people make the connection of death to only doctors, nurses, priests, and undertakers. Which leads to the result that we have lost control of one of the most significant events we ever have to face (Tucker, 2014). And this is his inspiration to open a non-profit death café in 2011, to increase people’s awareness of death with a point to helping people make the most of our finite lives.
As regarded as one representative group, yesterday’s talk devotes a large chunk of time to disability studies to reflect the awareness of death from the side. As Chandler states disabled life affects the ways we move through the world as disable cis-gendered women who are together in disability artistic, activist and scholarly communities. Visible disability is an outstanding gesture that got exposed in public and people’s common sense can easily get disability and death into one kind. Therefore, disable group is appropriate to phonate. The speaker enumerates three general topics on the unlivable life, threatening our futures generations and culture death, which is applying disability studies to the death café talk, to set the topic off for details.
Audiences take disability as a serious issue as the death. In retrospect, there was an example of the possibility of desiring disability, was a case wherein Anna Stubblefield was convicted of raping DJ, a Black, disabled, non-verbal adult living with cerebral palsy with who she stated she was in love (Taylor, 2015). The question “ how could anyone love someone like that” served as a central point of debate. Which also indicates the disability group’s particularity.
