This article, part of a larger anthropological investigation of how death occurs in the hospital, explores the relationship of elderly deaths in the intensive care unit to the cultural conversation about the desire for “ldeath with dignity.” Based on participant observation, it provides three case studies that focus on the unfolding of events surrounding patient treatment, decision making, and family involvement. The cases are interpreted in the context of four sources of the culturally defined “problem” of death: (a) how medicine operates as the dominant conceptual framework for understanding both old age and death; (b) the power of the technological imperative to determine events; (c) ambivalence regarding end-of-life goals; and (d) the incommensurability of lay and medical knowledge.
