Recensioner i media

An interesting collection of essays that should appeal especially to those involved in the provision of care for aged people, or in the analysis of social policy, or in the development of ethical concepts which seem relevant in the modern hospital environment. - Sidney Sax (Bioethics) It is a very useful aid for professionals in gerontology or in social work, for ethicists, ministers of religion, and for all who are connected with the formation of our perceptions on this most valuable and often most neglected segment of our society. - Béla I. Somfai (Journal of Religious Gerontology) A richness of insights that only an interdisciplinary approach can give. - Helga Kuhse (Bioethic News)
