고령화 사회의 노인치료를 위한 윤리적 토대 구축: 생물의학적 치료에서 돌봄으로*

In aging societies especially, there is a need for reflection on the paradigm of geriatrics, not only for the benefit of elderly patients, but for everyone.

We analyze the meaning of ‘care’ and consider different methods to achieve it alongside biomedical treatments.
