A much-loved, 78-year-old grandfather, busily engaged in

writing his memoirs, has a massive stroke. Should he be

given expensive, intensive therapy? Who should decide

and on what basis?

The ethical and economic dilemmas created by the graying of

America inspired Daniel Callahan s landmark book Setting Limits:

Medical Goals in an Aging Society, which touched off the remark-

able debate now collected in A Good Old Age? Callahan foresaw,

and most others agree, that we must ask fundamental questions

about the meaning of longevity in a society uncomfortable with

tough questions about life, death, family, and the relationship

between curing and caring.

In A Good OIdAge? experts from many fields--medicine, theol-

ogy, public policy, the law, philosophy, and others--take on these

questions. What should our medical goals be? Who should set

them? Can we put limits on health care--and hence life--and

remain a morally just society? Can we even translate our moral

choices into workable public policies? Many of these thinkers pro-

foundly disagree with Callahan s views, but all believe that struggle is

essential if our society is to offer a good life, not just a long one.

Daniel Callahan, author of Setting Limits and What Kind of Life, is

the Director of the Hastings Center. Paul Homer was the Assistant

Director of the Hastings Center and is currently teaching at the

Fordham Preparatory School in New York City. Martha Holstein was

the Associate Director of the American Society on Aging in San

Francisco and is now associated with the Center for Ethics and Social

Policy at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California.
