Why we need to be better at ageing... Julia Neuberger asks why we
allow our older relatives to be treated so appallingly and in her
10-point manifesto demands that we change our attitudes and
behaviour towards ageing. Parachuting into fields, running internet
businesses, singing in rock groups at the age of 101 - some older
people have never been so active. So why are others being so badly
treated? In Not Dead Yet, Julia Neuberger asks the questions our
society has shied away from - and demands answers. Why are older
people increasingly marginalised, mistreated and patronised? Why
are they allowed to die in hospital without food, water or pain
relief? Why are we so bombarded with images of the young that older
people are being driven from our TV screens? Why do the most
experienced people find it so hard to get jobs? Isn't there more to
life than bingo, bowls and daytime television? In her furious
10-point manifesto for grey power, Julia confronts a shameful
injustice and in doing so sets us on the road to change that
benefits us all.
