Résumé
Modern medicine is challenging traditional views of age(ing). What was long considered a "normal" sign of old age is now often perceived and treated as a disease. As a result, age-related health standards and treatment goals are shifting. The resulting scope between trivialization and pathologization of age(ing) requires ethical reflection. This article explores the question of how notions of age(ing) are to be understood ethically in the context of medicine. We first provide an overview of the state of research on the role of age stereotypes in the healthcare of older people. The notions of age(ing) identified in this context are then analyzed from the perspective of teleological ethics. What kinds of healthcare are reasonable and appropriate in old age has to be discussed in the context of the temporal structure of a good life.
