Abstract
"El presente artículo muestra las difi cultades teóricas a las que aboca el planteamiento de la eutanasia como «muerte digna», que ya emplearon los nazis en sus leyes eugenésicas (entre las que se incluía la propia eutanasia). Por otro lado, ofrece algunos apuntes para una bioética geriátrica, poniendo de relieve lo que podemos aprender de los ancianos. Aborda someramente un examen antropológico del sentido de algunas facetas ineludibles de la humana existencia como son la soledad, el dolor, el sufrimiento y la muerte" ["This article shows the theorical diffi culties that implies euthanasia as «dign death », used years ago by nazis in their eugenesic laws (in which there was included euthanasia as well). On the other hand, it shows some appoints for a geriatric bioethics, underlining what we all are able to learn from old people. Includes a slight anthropologic examination about the sense of some inavoidable points of human being. Such is the case of loneliness, pain, suffering and death"]
