Daniel Callahan's blue print for society that draws on concepts of what is natural and appropriate to human beings has its justificatory schemes or founding myths. A feminist examination of the functions that these four myths--the concept of a whole of life, the stages of life, a tolerable death and a reconstruction of the meaning of the aged in terms of sacrifice--fulfill in Callahan's new social order. Callahan's concept a whole of life reflects the power he assigns to nature, and the futility and harm he associates with attempts to repudiate bilogical imperatives. It introduces the stages of human life, tolerable death, and aging. The paper critically examines these concepts.
