Isi artikel

This article the proposition that old people want to be treated with dignity and that statements about dignity point to ethical duties that, if not independent of rights, at least enhance rights in ethically important ways. In contexts of policy and law, dignity can certainly have a substantive as well as rhetorical function. However, the article questions whether the concept of dignity approaches to the care of old people. The article explores the paradoxical relationship between the apparent lack of specific content in may conceptions of dignity and the broad utility that dignity appears to have as a concept expressive of shared social understandings about the status of old people.
