End-of-Life Care: Bridging Disability and Aging with Person Centered Care - Hardback

End-of-Life Care: Bridging Disability and Aging with Person Centered Care features two primary papers on the controversial issue of end-of-life care within the disabled and aging populations. Each paper explains--clearly and honestly--the multitude of issues involved in using person centered care. The first is from a father and nationally known advocate for the disabled--Rud Turnbull--speaking from a disability perspective about his disabled son. The second is from respected theologian M. J. Iozzio speaking from the aging perspective about her father's Alzheimer's disease. Responses from experts in the field follow, thoughtfully raising further points to consider about policies, ethics, quality of life, and consent.
