Edited by Rachel A. Pruchno and Michael A. Smyer.
Baltimore, MD: Johns Hopkins University Press, 2007.
"In this important and timely collection, some of the best minds in gerontology and bioethics--including Nancy Dubler, Rick Moody, Andrew Achenbaum, Robert Hudson, and Robert Binstock--explore the ethical, social, and political challenges of an aging society. A unique combination of disciplines and perspectives--from economics to nursing, psychology to theology--this valuable synthesis of theory and practice provides frameworks and analyses for considering the ethical issues of both individual and societal aging. The contributors address the major policy challenges of Social Security, Medicare, and prescription drugs as well as ethical issues ranging from individual autonomy to family responsibility to distributive justice. Specific topics covered include end-of-life decision making, family relations across generations, age-based intergenerational policies, and the reform of Social Security."

"Social work is a practical profession aimed at helping people address their problems and matching them with the resources they need to lead healthy and productive lives.
Beneath this practicality lies a strong value system that can be summarized in two words: social justice.

Social workers aim to open the doors of access and opportunity for everyone, particularly those in greatest need."
