"One of the current challenges facing European society is to address demographic changes that are putting increasing pressure on state budgets. I see a way out in the introduction of progressive and sustainable policies on the provision of adequate long-term care in a spirit of intergenerational solidarity, the elimination of age discrimination and full social inclusion even at advanced ages.
In my opinion, it is also important for the carers who look after old people to be accorded certain legally enforceable benefits or, where appropriate, financial remuneration, in a spirit of solidarity and appreciation for their self-sacrificing efforts. For this reason, I would like to emphasise the sharing of best practices and experience between Member States in this area.
In conclusion, I would like to add that, as a doctor, I completely disagree with so-called orders not to perform resuscitation on the basis of advanced age. I consider such an approach to be a gross violation of the basic human right to life."@en1
