Elder Rights - The Next Civil Rights Movement

On October 22, Temple Law (in Philadelphia) is hosting an all-day conference titled "Elder Rights - The Next Civil Rights Movement."  The speakers include elder law heavyweights Frolik and Dayton, with a keynote by Nina Kohn.  Other speakers include my Widener colleague Alicia Kelly.  

Of particular interest is a session titled "Healthcare, Self-Determination and Autonomy."  Speakers in that session include two scholars whom I have been fortunate to work with:  (1) Michele Mathes, "Health Care and the Aged: Arguing Equality in the Absence of a Right" and (2) Lois Shepherd, "The End of End of Life Law and Ethics."
