Ethics and economics. Willard Gaylin

Description

Government agencies and professionals who deal with damage claims are literally trying to determine the dollars-and-cents worth of human life. How do we decide what is an efficient annual cost for a nursing home? Or the cost for a new liver? And who is going to pay? Dr. Willard Gaylin is a practicing psychiatrist and president of the Hastings Center, an institute devoted to studying the relationships between biology and ethics. In this program with Bill Moyers, Gaylin explores the growing conflict between the survival of communities and the survival of the individual.
