Health care and aging, 2000-04-22
This book is a must read for those with an interest in geriatric health care allocation. Unfortunately, after about the first 100 pages, the book seems to just say the same thing over and over; namely, agism is ethically justified. I wonder if the author will still buy into this when he is of the old old.

Integrates ethical thought, social justice issues. Great!, 1997-07-03
I thought Callahan successfully brings together some of the most thought about and talked about issues of medical ethics today with the social reality of life in the US and the medical system we have currently. Must read for medical professionals.
