Final answer:

The statement inaccurately attributes the concept of a 'good death' to Kübler-Ross, even though cultural perspectives and hospice care practices emphasize the importance of loved ones during the end of life phase. Kübler-Ross's work is centered on the stages of grief experienced by dying individuals, not directly defining a 'good death.'

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement mentioned in the question does not seem to directly correspond with Kübler-Ross's Proposition 3 or any other specific theoretical proposition; it appears to misrepresent or incorrectly attribute the concept to Kübler-Ross. Elizabeth Kübler-Ross is known for her five-stage model of grief, and her work does not directly define a 'good death' in the context given.

A 'good death' is culturally subjective; therefore, whether this statement is true or false can differ based on varying cultural beliefs and values. For instance, among the Akan peoples of Ghana, a 'good death' is seen as a peaceful passing after accomplishing life achievements.

The concept of a 'good death' may also involve having loved ones nearby, aligning with the perspective provided in the question; however, assigning this view specifically to Kübler-Ross's work is incorrect.

In Western societies, hospice care aligns with many aspects of the 'good death' referred to in the question by providing a comfortable setting for the terminally ill and allowing the presence of loved ones. Kübler-Ross's work primarily highlighted the psychological process that individuals go through when facing the prospect of death rather than defining what constitutes a 'good death.'
