[Ethical aspects of the complex management of elderly humans needing help and care]

Alone the high number of collaborators and citizens in the homes for old age people in the GDR force to discuss these as an ethical questions. This is the idea of the author. Determined qualitative characteristics of these number (for example: polarity of the structure of age of the citizens, qualification of the collaborators) intensify the contour so far earlier not clear moral problems. The scientific-technical revolution leads to rapid changes of labour contents in the gerontology. For the collaborator in this medical part and also for needing care old age people leads this to consequences; it is accompany with the search for obligatory recommendations for an other form of action and higher responsibility of individuums. For example such problems are discussed: the dialectic association of activity and inactivity of needing care old age people, the relation between energy and personality of old age people, change of relations between doctor-nurse-citizen or the higher responsibility of the doctor of the houses for old age people in connection with so-called "Triage".
