Produktinformationen zu „Ethics, Health Policy and (Anti-) Aging: Mixed Blessings / Ethics and Health Policy Bd.1 (PDF)“
This volume is about the ethical and philosophical issues that arise in an aging society, and the implications of these issues for healthcare- and social policy. After a brief overview of biomedicine's changing approach of ageing and longevity and of the new expectations that these changes generate, various ethical, social, and policy issues that surround aging and longevity are discussed. First, the images and social meanings of aging and old age in our society are explored, including their normative dimensions and implications for policy. Next, ethical issues in the care for frail elderly are discussed, as well as notion of good care and end-of-life decisions. Finally, the ethical and social implications of emerging possibilities for anti-aging and lifespan extension are considered. The book concludes with an overview of the relevance of the issues discussed for policy making on professional, national and international levels.

Pressezitat
From the book reviews:“The editors succeed in bringing together a range of topics and disciplinary perspectives concerning ageing and longevity, the compression of morbidity, biomedical developments in anti-ageing and justice in care for older people. … The discursive style of the book makes it easy to read and there is a wealth of ideas to explore. Overall, I found this book an enjoyable and stimulating read and consider it would be a useful addition to libraries.” (Liz Lloyd, Ageing & Society, Vol. 34, 2014)
