Book on ethics of caring for elderly available online

The Centre for Biomedical Ethics at NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine has produced an open-access casebook that deals with the everyday ethical challenges of caring for the elderly. It was inspired by the observations of one of the authors, Assoc Prof Jacqueline Chin, of the "moral distress" faced by medical professionals in end-of-life care while she was doing research for a report in 2011.
