Description:
Planning Later Life examines the relevance of modern medicine and healthcare in shaping the lives of elderly persons and ageing societies. Combining the individual and social dimension, it discusses the ethical, social, and political consequences of increasing life expectancies and demographic change.
Review Quotes:
"Planning Later Life provides an accessible and well-written volume for interdisci-plinary scholars and non-scientific readers. It acquires a reasonable balance between a width of perspectives and depths of discussing the implications of an increasing life expectancy."
Martin Sand, Monash Bioethics Review.
