Each citation is accompanied by an annotation that concisely summarizes and assesses the contents of the work.
The volume begins with an informative introductory essay on the ethical issues pertinent to health care for older adults. The chapters that follow are devoted to broad topics, such as financial considerations, treatment for the terminally ill, and decision-making by and for the impaired elderly.
