Sometimes this coincidence thing can hardly be called serendipitous
There I was looking at the mortality statistics
And then there was the programme in which Jonathan Miller explores the complex questions that arise from trying to define death
In particular he spoke to Michel Coleman, the Professor of Epidemiology & Vital Statistics at LSHTM who, among other things, explained why doctors & statisticians are not very keen on ‘old age’ as a cause of death
It was interesting, but made me feel just a little bit queasy because of the timing
