Hospitals won't help a dying man. At least not one who is truly dying. Most hospitals will rush to help a man who's body is dying but very few will ever stop to nurse the man who's life is dying. Right before the eyes of his friends and family, he begins to fade away. Slowly at first, but then more rapidly until one day, he is no longer alive. Sure, he will still walk around, eat, sleep, talk - all the things that are needed too be considered "alive". Anyone who has ever felt truly alive, like you do when watching a child take their fisrt step, will reconize the great tragedy displayed in a dying man. Men who die are the ones who the world has left behind.
A few men are strong enough to find the slightest joys, and so keep themselves alive, but such is a misrable existance that barely deserves to be titled "alive".
