520 With the increasing growth of the elderly population,
geriatric care is becoming eminently important not only to
medical professionals but also to all those involved in
caring for the elderly including social workers, nursing
home staff, and relatives. This timely work confronts in a
clear and systematic manner the many ethical issues
concerning care for elderly persons. For instance, what is
sound ethical decision-making in relation to life-
sustaining medical treatment for elderly patients? At a
time when aging of the population is increasing the demand
for health care, is age-rationing a justified means of
cost control? How can investigators satisfy ethical
requirements in relation to medical or social-scientific
research with elderly subjects, and what special
precautions are needed when elderly persons are ill,
demented, dependent on social services, and/or
institutionalized? What are the responsibilities of adult
children toward frail elderly parents? How can
professionals and relatives determine whether paternalism
toward an elderly person is ethically justified? In an
accessible way, this book explains the ethical and
conceptual issues at stake. Several key examples are
presented and each chapter ends with an extensive case
study and analysis. Ethics and the Elderly will be a
valuable resource for all those involved in geriatric care
and to many in the field of bioethics.
