Preferred term

legalities of death  

Definition

  • Laws change with the times; they attempt to catch up with technology, reconcile nondominant cultural beliefs and morals with the dominant paradigm, and find better ways to protect and control society. Laws, rules of conduct, ethics, religious beliefs, societal norms, cultural morality and expectations, community values, and personal meaning and attitudes all combine to work together to form a labyrinth of confusing and conflicting legalities. [Source: Encyclopedia of Death and the Human Experience; Legalities of Death]
