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.
