Ageing, Autonomy and Resources
Ageing, Autonomy and Resources Books
Product Description
This collection of articles, frequently by philosophers, but including two doctors and an economic historian, is proposed as a contribution to applied ethics and medical ethics. The articles tackle two questions: how can the autonomy of the elderly be increased, and how can a just ratio of medical resources be secured for them? The seven articles dealing with the first question apply work in the theory of ethics on the nature and limits of autonomy to the particular case study of the elderly: there are a number of detailed conclusions about what can and should be done, and a general consensus that, even as the aptly to die with dignity is vital, even more vital is the improvement of the quality of life. The seven articles dealing with resources examine the problems made by an ageing populace and the arguements for discriminating hostile to the elderly: the main conclusions is that none of these arguments are sound or convincing. Overall the book seeks to make both a theoretical and a matter-of-fact contribution to this field.
