Senicide and Old Age Killing : An Overdue Discourse Paperback / softback
by Raimund Pousset
Part of the Springer essentials series
Paperback / softback
Description
Raimund Pousset gives in this essential a concise account of senicide, the modern form of cultural killing of the elderly.
He sheds light on both the history and the current situation of an ancient method.
Practiced for millennia almost everywhere in the world, this custom of actively disposing of old 'useless' people or passively putting oneself to death is increasingly being revived today.
Senicide is a nameless and silent scandal in our modern, enlightened society.
The author wishes to bring this silent death into the focus of a mindful professional public, for the segregation of old age and the avalanche of costs in health care suggest that senicide will continue to grow in sad significance
