Ethical Issues With an Aging Population
According to the CDC, “in the United States, the proportion of
the population aged
>
65 years is projected to increase from 12.4% in 2000 to 19.6%
in 2030,” (CDC, 2003, para. 2). Caring for this aging population
is going to be one of the greatest challenges facing the health
care industry. Not only will the number of individuals requiring
care rise, but so will the cost. As poignantly stated by Crippen
and Barnato, “unless we change the practice of medicine and
reduce future costs, and explicitly address the ethical dilemmas
we face, there may come a time when our kids simply cannot
afford us” (2011, p. 128).
In this Discussion, you will examine the ethical issues that the
United States and other nations must address when faced with
the health care challenges of an aging population.
To prepare:
Consider the ethical aspects of health care and health policy for
an aging population.
Review the Hayutin, Dietz, and Mitchell report presented in the
Learning Resources. The authors pose the question, “What are
the economic consequences, now and for future generations of
taxpayers if we fail to adapt our policies to the changing reality
of an older population?” (p. 21). Consider how you would
respond to this question. In addition, reflect on the ethical
decisions that arise when dispersing limited funds.
Contemplate the impact of failing to adjust policy in accordance
with the changing reality of an older population.
Reflect on the ethical dilemmas that arise when determining
expenditures on end-of-life health care.
Post by Day 3
an explanation of the ethical standards you believe should be
used in determining how resources should be allocated for an
aging population and end-of-life care. Then, provide an analysis
of the ethical challenges related to the preparation for the
provision of such health care.

Ethical Issues With an Aging PopulationAccording to the CDC, in t.docx

  • 1. Ethical Issues With an Aging Population According to the CDC, “in the United States, the proportion of the population aged > 65 years is projected to increase from 12.4% in 2000 to 19.6% in 2030,” (CDC, 2003, para. 2). Caring for this aging population is going to be one of the greatest challenges facing the health care industry. Not only will the number of individuals requiring care rise, but so will the cost. As poignantly stated by Crippen and Barnato, “unless we change the practice of medicine and reduce future costs, and explicitly address the ethical dilemmas we face, there may come a time when our kids simply cannot afford us” (2011, p. 128). In this Discussion, you will examine the ethical issues that the United States and other nations must address when faced with the health care challenges of an aging population. To prepare: Consider the ethical aspects of health care and health policy for an aging population. Review the Hayutin, Dietz, and Mitchell report presented in the Learning Resources. The authors pose the question, “What are the economic consequences, now and for future generations of taxpayers if we fail to adapt our policies to the changing reality of an older population?” (p. 21). Consider how you would respond to this question. In addition, reflect on the ethical decisions that arise when dispersing limited funds. Contemplate the impact of failing to adjust policy in accordance with the changing reality of an older population. Reflect on the ethical dilemmas that arise when determining expenditures on end-of-life health care. Post by Day 3 an explanation of the ethical standards you believe should be used in determining how resources should be allocated for an aging population and end-of-life care. Then, provide an analysis of the ethical challenges related to the preparation for the
