Description
Moody examines both the clinical and the policy issues that center on aging, paying special attention to the ethical problems associated with Alzheimer's disease and the issue of "rational suicide" for reasons of age. He also focuses on the rights of patients in long-term care and on the question of justice between generations.
First Sentence
The growing interest in questions of ethics and aging in recent years has been stimulated by two broad trends: advances in medical technology that have led to dilemmas of clinical bioethics (for example, decisions surrounding death and dying); and the coming of an aging society with rising numbers of dependent elderly people whose care raises far-reaching questions of social policy.
