At an especially important moment in Tim Keller’s lovely and honest essay about confronting death, The Atlantic neatly inserts this link to Ezekiel Emanuel’s essay about wanting to die at age 75. Oddly enough, though, if you visit Emanuel’s essay there’s no link to Keller’s.

UPDATE: Just to clarify, I don’t think the link placement was deliberate — I assume that these things are at least partly automated. The placement seemed ironic, that’s all.
