New Zealand hospice uses Wi-Fi to offer Internet access to patients: One of the many difficult parts of winding one's life down is surely the absence of family and friends who cannot get to your bedside or spend as much time there as they or you would like. Providing Internet access could be a remarkable tool for those who want to communicate during their last days and would otherwise have to rely on intermediation, such as someone relaying messages. Of course, not all hospice patients will have the energy, facility, or desire, but it's one more attribute of respect to people's desire to connect.
