Moody examines both the clinical and the policy issues that center on aging, paying special attention to the ethical problems associated with Alzheimer's disease and the issue of "rational suicide" for reasons of age. He also focuses on the rights of patients in long-term care and on the question of justice between generations (i.e. are older patients using more than their "fair share" of scarce health care dollars?).
