Perspectives on Aging

The group meets at 238 Prospect St. in the conference room at 9 AM. A light breakfast will be provided.

The group seeks to study ethical issues surrounding aging.  This year, the group's focus is on how people can age well and how society can help people in that endeavor.  We consider ways in which society has encouraged or discouraged a productive and satisfying life for the elderly, as well as the impacts of aging populations on society. Whether you are caring for aging family members, working with older populations as a vocation, or simply interested in thinking about these issues, we welcome you to take the opportunity to learn from these seminars.
