"People are living way longer and in greater disability. The capacity to care for these people has decreased . The trouble with increased longevity is that it comes at the end of life" 

Sholom Glouberman is Philosopher in Residence at Baycrest Center for Geriatric Care, He has a BA from McGill and a Ph.D. in Philosophy from Cornell University. For the past 25 years he has applied philosophical methods and conceptual analysis to organizations and systems.
