Loading... The Moral Challenge of Alzheimer Disease (edition 1995)by Stephen G. PostThis book is essential reading for anyone working in the dementia care field. Post articulates a compelling challenge to what he calls our "hypercognitive culture" that tends to diminish if not entirely dismiss the moral standing of people who suffer profound cognitive challenges. Post finds grounds for embracing the continued personhood of people with dementia within the Judeo-Christian heritage , and from these he develops positions on the concrete moral conundrums of caregivers and social policy. |
