minutes<00:01:03.199> 100<00:01:03.760> million<00:01:04.159> of<00:01:04.239> my<00:01:04.479> cells<00:01:04.879> will<00:01:05.040> die minutes 100 million of my cells will die minutes 100 million of my cells will die and<00:01:06.720> over<00:01:06.960> the<00:01:07.040> course<00:01:07.280> of<00:01:07.360> today<00:01:07.680> 2000<00:01:08.240> of<00:01:08.320> my and over the course of today 2000 of my and over the course of today 2000 of my brain<00:01:08.880> cells<00:01:09.200> will<00:01:09.360> die<00:01:09.600> and<00:01:09.680> never<00:01:09.920> come<00:01:10.240> back brain cells will die and never come back brain cells will die and never come back so<00:01:11.280> you<00:01:11.439> could<00:01:11.680> argue<00:01:11.920> that<00:01:12.080> the<00:01:12.159> dying so you could argue that the dying so you could argue that the dying process<00:01:13.040> starts<00:01:13.360> pretty<00:01:13.600> early<00:01:13.840> in<00:01:13.920> the<00:01:14.080> piece process starts pretty early in the piece process starts pretty early in the piece anyway<00:01:16.240> the<00:01:16.400> second<00:01:16.640> thing<00:01:16.799> i<00:01:16.880> want<00:01:16.960> to<00:01:17.040> say anyway the second thing i want to say anyway the second thing i want to say about<00:01:17.360> dying<00:01:17.600> in<00:01:17.680> the<00:01:17.759> 21st<00:01:18.159>

happen<00:01:19.200> to<00:01:19.360> everybody from what's going to happen to everybody from what's going to happen to everybody is<00:01:20.159> it's<00:01:20.560> shaping<00:01:20.960> up<00:01:21.040> to<00:01:21.200> be<00:01:21.280> a<00:01:21.360> bit<00:01:21.520> of<00:01:21.600> a is it's shaping up to be a bit of a is it's shaping up to be a bit of a train<00:01:22.000> wreck train wreck train wreck for<00:01:23.520> most<00:01:23.759> of<00:01:23.920> us for most of us for most of us unless<00:01:25.119> we<00:01:25.280> do<00:01:25.520> something<00:01:25.840> to<00:01:26.000> try<00:01:26.159> and unless we do something to try and unless we do something to try and reclaim<00:01:26.720> this<00:01:26.960> process<00:01:27.840> from<00:01:28.000> the<00:01:28.159> rather reclaim this process from the rather reclaim this process from the rather inexorable<00:01:29.040> trajectory<00:01:29.600> that<00:01:29.840> it's inexorable trajectory that it's inexorable trajectory that it's currently<00:01:30.400> on currently on currently on so<00:01:31.520> there<00:01:31.680> you<00:01:31.840> go<00:01:31.920> that's<00:01:32.159> the<00:01:32.320>

males in<00:01:58.399> australia<00:01:58.880> has<00:01:59.119> halved<00:01:59.600> and<00:01:59.759> intensive in australia has halved and intensive in australia has halved and intensive care<00:02:00.320> has<00:02:00.399> had<00:02:00.640> something<00:02:00.880> to<00:02:00.960> do<00:02:01.119> with<00:02:01.280> that care has had something to do with that care has had something to do with that certainly<00:02:01.759> a<00:02:01.840> lot<00:02:02.000> of<00:02:02.079> the<00:02:02.159> technologies<00:02:02.880> that certainly a lot of the technologies that certainly a lot of the technologies that we<00:02:03.119> use<00:02:03.439> have<00:02:03.600> got<00:02:03.759> something<00:02:04.000> to<00:02:04.079> do<00:02:04.240> with we use have got something to do with we use

because of this is more serious because of this what<00:05:44.080> we<00:05:44.240> know<00:05:44.479> is what we know is what we know is that<00:05:45.680> obviously<00:05:45.919> we<00:05:46.080> are<00:05:46.240> all<00:05:46.400> going<00:05:46.560> to<00:05:46.720> die that obviously we are all going to die that obviously we are all going to die but<00:05:47.360> how<00:05:47.600> we<00:05:47.759> die<00:05:48.000> is<00:05:48.160> actually<00:05:48.400> really but how we die is actually really but how we die is actually really important important important obviously<00:05:50.240> not<00:05:50.400> just<00:05:50.639> to<00:05:50.880> us<00:05:51.360> but<00:05:51.520> also<00:05:51.919> to<00:05:52.160> how obviously not just to us but also to how obviously not just to us but also to how that that that features<00:05:54.320> in<00:05:54.400> the<00:05:54.560> lives<00:05:54.800> of<00:05:54.960> all<00:05:55.039> the<00:05:55.199> people features in the lives of all the people features in the lives of all the people who<00:05:55.440> live<00:05:55.680> on<00:05:55.840> afterwards<00:05:56.800> how<00:05:57.039> we<00:05:57.280> die<00:05:57.759> lives who live on afterwards how we die lives who live on afterwards how we die lives on<00:05:58.240> in<00:05:58.320> the<00:05:58.400> minds<00:05:58.720> of<00:05:58.800> everybody<00:05:59.120> who on in the minds of everybody who on in the minds of everybody who survives<00:05:59.840> us survives us survives us and and and the<00:06:02.400> stress the stress the stress created<00:06:04.000> in<00:06:04.080> families<00:06:04.479> by<00:06:04.720> dying<00:06:05.039> is<00:06:05.199> enormous created in families by dying is enormous created in families by dying is enormous and<00:06:06.240> in<00:06:06.400> fact<00:06:06.560> you<00:06:06.639> get<00:06:06.960> seven<00:06:07.280> times<00:06:07.520> as<00:06:07.600> much and in fact you get seven times as much and in fact you get seven times as much stress<00:06:08.080> by<00:06:08.319> dying<00:06:08.560> in<00:06:08.720> intensive<00:06:09.120> care<00:06:09.520> as<00:06:09.759> by stress by dying in intensive care as by stress by dying in intensive care as by dying<00:06:10.160> just<00:06:10.319> about<00:06:10.479> anywhere<00:06:10.880> else<00:06:10.960> so<00:06:11.120> dying dying just about anywhere else so dying dying just about anywhere else so dying in<00:06:11.440> intensive<00:06:11.759> care<00:06:12.000> is<00:06:12.160> not<00:06:12.319> your<00:06:12.479> top<00:06:12.720> option in intensive care is not your top option in intensive care is not your top option if<00:06:14.319> if<00:06:14.479> you've<00:06:14.639> got<00:06:14.800> a<00:06:14.880> choice if if you've got a choice if if you've got a choice and<00:06:17.120> if<00:06:17.440> that<00:06:17.600> wasn't<00:06:17.759> bad<00:06:18.000> enough<00:06:18.319> of<00:06:18.400> course and if that wasn't bad enough of course and if that wasn't bad enough of course all<00:06:19.039> of<00:06:19.120> this all of this all of this is<00:06:20.000> rapidly<00:06:20.400> progressing<00:06:20.800> towards<00:06:21.199> the<00:06:21.280> fact is rapidly progressing towards the fact is rapidly progressing towards the fact that<00:06:21.600> many<00:06:21.840> of<00:06:22.000> you<00:06:22.160> in<00:06:22.319> fact<00:06:22.560> about<00:06:22.720> one<00:06:22.880> in<00:06:22.960> 10 that many of you in fact about one in 10 that many of you in fact about one in 10 of<00:06:23.280> you<00:06:23.440> at<00:06:23.520> this<00:06:23.680> point<00:06:23.919> will<00:06:24.080> die<00:06:24.240> in of you at this point will die in of you at this point will die in intensive<00:06:24.880> care<00:06:25.440> in<00:06:25.600> the<00:06:25.680> us<00:06:26.000> it's<00:06:26.160> one<00:06:26.319> in intensive care in the us it's one in intensive care in the us it's one in five<00:06:26.880> in<00:06:26.960> miami<00:06:27.440> it's<00:06:27.680> three<00:06:27.919> out<00:06:28.080> of<00:06:28.319> five five in miami it's three out of five five in miami it's three out of five people<00:06:28.880> die<00:06:29.120> in<00:06:29.280> intensive<00:06:29.759> care<00:06:30.319> so<00:06:30.479> this<00:06:30.639> is people die in intensive care so this is people die in intensive care so this is the<00:06:30.880> sort<00:06:31.039> of<00:06:31.120> momentum the sort of momentum the sort of momentum that<00:06:32.560> we've<00:06:32.800> got<00:06:33.120> at<00:06:33.199> the<00:06:33.360> moment that we've got at the moment that we've got at the moment the<00:06:34.960> reason<00:06:35.360> why<00:06:35.600> this<00:06:35.759> is<00:06:35.919> all<00:06:36.000> happening<00:06:36.400> is the reason why this is all happening is the reason why this is all happening is due<00:06:36.720> to<00:06:36.880> this<00:06:37.120> and<00:06:37.199> i<00:06:37.280> do<00:06:37.440> have<00:06:37.600> to<00:06:37.680> take<00:06:37.840> you due to this and i do have to take you due to this and i do have to take you through<00:06:38.160> what<00:06:38.319> this<00:06:38.479> is<00:06:38.560> about<00:06:38.880> these<00:06:39.039> are<00:06:39.120> the through what this is about these are the through what this is about these are the four<00:06:39.520> ways<00:06:39.759> to<00:06:39.919> go<00:06:40.560> so<00:06:40.720> one<00:06:40.880> of<00:06:40.960> these<00:06:41.120> will four ways to go so one of these will four ways to go so one of these will happen<00:06:41.440> to<00:06:41.600> all<00:06:41.759> of<00:06:41.919> us happen to all of us happen to all of us the<00:06:43.600> ones<00:06:43.919>
