Der Biogerontologie oder biologischen Alternsforschung ist es gelungen, den Alternsprozess von Labororganismen zu manipulieren. Biogerontologische Forscher glauben diese Erkenntnisse auch auf den Menschen übertragen zu können. Hier sollte zeitnah eine ethische Reflexion einsetzen, bevor Forschungserfolge die zukünftige Entwicklung in eine unerwünschte Richtung führen. Der Kontext für diese Reflexion besteht im demographischen Wandel und in veränderten Altersbildern. Einerseits gibt es daher Hoffnungen, dass erfolgreiche, neue Interventionen in Alternsprozesse negative Folgen des demographischen Wandels abschwächen oder gar ganz verhindern könnten. Andererseits könnten Eingriffe in Alternsprozesse auch ethische Probleme hervorbringen. Das vorliegende Buch stellt zunächst knapp biogerontologische Theorien, Konzeptionen und Methoden dar und untersucht systematisch, die sich im Anschluss daran die einschlägigen ethischen Fragen. Um diese Fragen zu beantworten werden umfangreiche interdisziplinäre Forschungsergebnisse aus Biogerontologie, Medizinethik, Philosophie und Sozialgerontologie berücksichtigt. Die Untersuchung kommt zum Ergebnis, dass es zwar einige berechtigte ethische Bedenken gegen die biogerontologische Forschung und ihre mögliche Anwendung in der Medizin gibt, aber keine berechtigten, prinzipiellen Einwände.

This book assembles essays by thinkers who were at the center of the German post World War II development of ethical thought in medicine. It records their strategies for overcoming initial resistance among physicians and philosophers and (in the East) politicians. This work traces their different approaches, such as socialist versus liberal bioethics; illustrates their attempt to introduce a culture of dialogue in medicine; and examines their moral ambiguities inherent to the institutionalization of bioethics and in law. Furthermore, the essays in this work pay special attention to the problem of ethics expertise in the context of a pluralism, which the intellectual mainstream of the country seeks to reduce to “varieties of post-traditionalism". Finally, this book addresses the problem of “patient autonomy”,and highlights the difficulty of harmonizing commitment to professional integrity with the project of enhancing physician’s responsiveness to suffering patients. As these essays illustrate, the development of bioethics in Germany does not follow a linear line of progressiveness, but rather retains a sense of the traditional ethos of the guild. An ethos, however, that is challenged by moral pluralism in such a way that, even today, still requires adequate solutions. A must read for all academics interested in the origins and the development of bioethics.

The booming increase of the senior population has become a social phenomenon and a challenge to our societies, and technological advances have undoubtedly contributed to improve the lives of elderly citizens in numerous aspects. In current debates on technology, however, the »human factor« is often largely ignored. The ageing individual is rather seen as a malfunctioning machine whose deficiencies must be diagnosed or as a set of limitations to be overcome by means of technological devices. This volume aims at focusing on the perspective of human beings deriving from the development and use of technology: this change of perspective - taking the human being and not technology first - may help us to become more sensitive to the ambivalences involved in the interaction between humans and technology, as well as to adapt technologies to the people that created the need for its existence, thus contributing to improve the quality of life of senior citizens.

Current demographic developments and change due to long life expectancies, low birth rates, changing family structures, and economic and political crises causing migration and flight are having a significant impact on intergenerational relationships, the social welfare system, the job market and what elderly people (can) expect from their retirement and environment. The socio-political relevance of the categories of ‘age’ and ‘ageing’ have been increasing and gaining much attention within different scholarly fields. However, none of the efforts to identify age-related diseases or the processes of ageing in order to develop suitable strategies for prevention and therapy have had any effect on the fact that attitudes against the elderly are based on patterns that are determined by parameters that or not biological or sociological: age(ing) is also a cultural fact. This book reveals the importance of cultural factors in order to build a framework for analyzing and understanding cultural constructions of ageing, bringing together scholarly discourses from the arts and humanities as well as social, medical and psychological fields of study. The contributions pave the way for new strategies of caring for elderly people.

This book examines the relevance of modern medicine and healthcare in shaping the lives of elderly persons and the practices and institutions of ageing societies. Combining individual and social dimensions, Planning Later Life discusses the ethical, social, and political consequences of increasing life expectancies and demographic change in the context of biomedicine and public health. By focusing on the field of biomedicine and healthcare, the authors engage readers in a dialogue on the ethical and social implications of recent trends in dementia research and care, advance healthcare planning, or the rise of anti-ageing medicine and prevention. Bringing together the largely separated debates of individualist bioethics on the one hand, and public health ethics on the other, the volume deliberately considers the entanglements of envisioning, evaluating, and controlling individual and societal futures. So far, the process of devising and exploring the various positive and negative visions and strategies related to later life has rarely been reflected systematically from a philosophical, sociological, and ethical point of view. As such, this book will be crucial to those working and studying in the life sciences, the humanities, and the social sciences, particularly in the areas of bioethics, social work, gerontology and aging studies, healthcare and social service, sociology, social policy, and geography and population studies.

In recent years, the aim of research on aging has shifted from prolonging life to fostering healthy and cognitively robust old age. In order to improve the quality of life of older people, we need to better understand cognitive aging as well as bodily aging. Health and Cognition in Old Age assembles the cream of research across varied medical, mental health, and social disciplines, and demonstrates how this knowledge can lead to improved outcomes for older people. The first half of this expert volume discusses biomedical and life course factors in aging, particularly as they affect cognition and well-being in later life. From there, effective solutions are the focus: interventions and care programs to improve mental functioning and general quality of life, and current policy and practice ideas in promoting healthy, active, and cognitively robust aging. Together, these diverse chapters offer a multi-faceted approach to understanding and modifying what was formerly the inevitable course of growing old. A sampling of the coverage: How the aging process affects the immune system. Occupational gerontology – work-related determinants of old age health and functioning. Social, behavioral, and contextual influences on cognitive function and decline. Lifestyle factors in the prevention of dementia. Understanding long-term care outcomes: conventional and behavioral economics. Social capital, mental well-being, and loneliness in older people. For gerontologists, sociologists, social workers, health psychologists, and others working to improve older people’s lives, Health and Cognition in Old Age brings expertise, versatility, and confidence to the table.

The proportion of people over 65 is substantially increasing and will continue to do so in the coming decades. Societies are concerned about the depletion of pension funds and austere fiscal plans that are unable to subsidize the basic care, protection and needs of their growing elderly populations. Gerontology is rapidly becoming a burgeoning research discipline that studies multiple aspects of human ageing, leading to top-down social policies that ineffectually address the significant needs of aged persons. Geriatric medicine has also expanded, attempting to medicalize the ageing process into a disease-free stage of “healthy ageing.” Ageing itself, this book argues, however, is not a disease per se, and should not be medicalized. In an era of uncertain medical expectations and unfulfilled social care of the ageing, this book presents an anthropological view, that focuses on three essential and transcendental conditions of human life that become vulnerable with advancing age: namely, relating to others, being in the world, and leaving a mark or legacy in the world.

In den öffentlichen Debatten spielen das Alter und das Altern zunehmend wichtige Rollen. Der demographische Wandel, die alternde Gesellschaft und die daraus resultierenden Probleme und Fragen bedingen es, dass sich mit dem Thema nahezu alle akademischen Disziplinen befassen. Soll man in den Alterungsprozess eingreifen? Wie ist das Altern aufzufassen? Als Krankheit, die man „heilen“ kann oder als natürlichen Prozess, den man nicht beeinflussen sollte? Das Handbuch blickt aus einer weiten Perspektive auf die Lebensphase des höheren Alters wie auf das biologische und soziale Phänomen des Alterns. Erträge der Gerontologie und der Biogerontologie wie auch der Geriatrie werden gebündelt und um eine anthropologische, kulturwissenschaftliche und kulturphilosophische sowie eine moralphilosophische und ethische Hinsicht erweitert.

Die sogenannte Angewandte Ethik erfährt seit Jahrzehnten einen beachtlichen Aufschwung. Ihr Anspruch ist, in konkreten moralischen Problemstellungen einen Beitrag zur Orientierung zu leisten. Dass Ethik einen Bestand an Normen und Prinzipien auf reale Probleme in der Welt anwendet, ist freilich zu einfach gedacht. Denn weder die Problemformulierung noch die einschlägigen moralischen Normen können ohne Weiteres als begründet oder stets akzeptiert vorausgesetzt werden. In diesem Band werden Grundfragen der Anwendung in der Ethik kritisch reflektiert. In der Rechtsprechung ist die Anwendung von Normen zwar gut etablierte Praxis, neue Entwicklungen verlangen aber eine erneuerte methodologische Auseinandersetzung. In der Medizin und dem Bereich der Bildung lassen sich Fragen der ethischen Bewertung jenseits der Anwendung finden. Hier kommt abwägendes Denken über Normen und Werte ins Spiel, das unterschiedliche Wege ethischer Reflexion aufzeigt. Dieser Band trägt dazu bei, ethisches Erwägen konzeptionell und praktisch weiterzudenken und Bedingungen guter Abwägung zu erkunden.
