Old World monkey

A few things that stuck out to me while reading Being Mortal were social changes, the role of geriatricians, and societies perception of old people.

Cox states ”As a “religious” person I still thrive on living in whatever is meant by the “secular age” with its celebration of democracy, human rights, and relishing life in this world rather than the next” (Cox 9).

People take things word for…
