Abstract

The alternative "restriction" or "fulfillment" characterizes as age as geriatrics. Necessarily geriatric medicine has to realize not only a holistic concept of medicine but also to deal with the ethic questions and tasks risen by this quest. In both regards completion of awareness of the patient and his background is central. Especially concerning sexuality and suicidality geriatric and ethic interest must focus on the patient and his subjectivity and not start abstractly from principles and norms.
