The co-founder and former president of the Hastings Center, Daniel Callahan is currently the director of international programs for the Hastings Center and author of The Troubled Dream of Life, Setting Limits: Medical Goals in an Aging Society and What Kind of Life?: The Limits of Medical Progress (Georgetown University Press).
"This is quite simply a splendid book. It enhances the reputation of those who wrote it, of Daniel Callahan who conceived it, and the already high reputation of the Hastings Center . . . Well-produced and attractive to read, this book is one that thinking people will love . . . This fine book should be on every medical bookshelf."―Bioethics
