The Sandwich Generation

by Charles R. Roots

Examines ways to alleviate the burden placed upon adult children who care for aging parents but who still have children at home. The study shows that the situation is going to continue, complicated by related issues such as the right to die, euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide. Topics addressed include who is responsible for whom, the ethical paradox, multiple sandwiching, and the role of the church. A 12-week course of study and nine appendices are included.
