I just finish reading this article “Death in space: ethical and practical concerns” and thought what an interesting topic. I like to hear your views.
From the article
“The possibility that we will mount a manned expedition to Mars in the coming decades has forced NASA to return to a question which it has not had to grapple with in quite some time: what happens if someone dies in space, or if - either for medical or mechanical reasons - they are put in a position where there is no hope of returning them to Earth alive? The ethical and practical concerns of death in space are, understandably, both immense and something of a taboo.”

P.S. MW, I wasn't sure which forum.
