Summary

The vulnerability of the elderly, they situation in the centre of opposing interests and the effect on their fundamental rights -the right to life and physical integrity, freedom, dignity and privacy... make the health care they receive peculiar because of its frequency and intensity, particularly at the end of their lives. The situation of their rights and the legal consequences of transferring such rights to others should be analysed within the limits of the Law.
