PAP. Condición: New. New Book. Shipped from UK. Established seller since 2000.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Medical science has gifted humanity longer life, but society was unprepared for what followed. Across the world, populations are aging rapidly, birth rates are falling, working populations are shrinking, and traditional family care systems are collapsing. Elderly parents are often left alone as younger generations migrate in search of opportunity. Longevity, once celebrated as a triumph, is now raising difficult questions about dignity, care, dependency, and responsibility.Longevity: A Curse or a Boon? is a thoughtful, deeply human exploration of this modern paradox. Drawing on social observation, demographic realities, and lived experience, the book examines how medical miracles have reshaped families, economies, and communities-and why sympathy alone is failing the elderly.This book does not oppose longevity. Instead, it asks the questions society avoids: What happens when life is extended without strength, security, or purpose? Who is responsible when elders live longer but lonelier lives? And how can individuals, families, communities, and governments prepare so that long life becomes a blessing rather than a burden?Clear, reflective, and socially urgent, this book is a call to rethink aging-not as decline, but as a shared responsibility.
