“Being mortal is about the struggle to cope with the constraints of our biology, with the limits set by genes and cells and flesh and bone. Medical science has given us remarkable power to push against these limits, and the potential value of this power was a central reason I became a doctor. But again and again, I have seen the damage we in medicine do when we fail to acknowledge that such power is finite and always will be. ” ― Atul Gawande, (p259, 'Epilogue' , 'Being Mortal', Profile Books, ISBN 978-1846685)
