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
