Chapter 5 in The Economics of Long-term Care, 2026, pp 87-99 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This final chapter departs significantly from its predecessors, examining two critical issues that define life’s final stages and pose fundamentally ethical rather than economic questions. The first explores the vulnerability of frail elderly individuals to mistreatment during their most defenseless period. The second investigates how policymakers might best structure end-of-life care frameworks.
