| The overall objective of the course is to deconstruct some stereotypes associated with the concept of aging (normal and pathologic aging). More concretely, various problems related to or associated with aging (normal and pathologic aging) are considered, as: (1) the origins and characteristics of the aging population (demographics), (2) physiological aging, (3) the questioning of psychometric model of cognitive decline, (4) the description of some theories explaining how a person adapts to his aging and maintains a good quality of life, and (5) how to take care of a person having an Alzheimer's disease. |

| The course envisages the protection of old people under two juridical points of view : the perspective of the rights of personnality, and the one of patrimony rights.
In the first perspective, will be studied, among others, patient's rights, euthanasia, protection by different status of incapacity and the survivance of the right of personnality after the death of the person.
In the second perspective, will be studied the problem of alimony between the old people and their families, the regime of inheritance rights, and matrimonial property. |
