AnnotationStarting with definitional issues, the author discusses the links which she sees between dignity and quality of life. Comments include her view of how previous research has informed our understanding of dignity, in which the term has not been used explicitly. The concepts of dignity and quality of life are examined as personal and social phenomena. Even the most needy older people want to claim some quality of life, so we should help them to age with dignity. (RH).
