Leven van pil naar pil
Over veroudering en geneesmiddelen
Naar verwachting is binnen tien jaar, een kwart van de totale wereldbevolking ouder dan zestig. Veroudering brengt verschillende specifieke problemen met zich mee. De druk op de gezondheidszorg zal dus steeds meer toenemen. Zo is er is er bij ouderen steeds vaker sprake van polyfarmacie: het chronisch gebruik van meer geneesmiddelen tegelijk. Ze leven letterlijk van pil naar pil. Op dinsdag 12 april spreken specialisten, ervaringsdeskundigen en geïnteresseerden in de Rode Hoed over ethische vragen rond veroudering.
Waarom is er voor ouderen geen aparte wetgeving op het gebied van geneesmiddelenonderzoek, zoals bij kinderen? Kerngezond oud worden (healthy ageing) wordt gezien als heilige graal, maar horen bij ouderdom niet vanzelfsprekend ook gebreken? Moeten we alle kansen benutten die de technologie ons biedt om maar zo oud mogelijk te worden? Wat betekent het als iedereen in de toekomst veel langer zou kunnen leven? En hoe zit het met het zelfbeschikkingsrecht van ouderen?
Gespreksleider: Inge Diepman.
Met onder anderen:
- Paul Jansen, klinisch geriater UMCU en voorzitter/oprichter Expertisecentrum voor pharmacotherapie bij ouderen (Ephor)
- Evert van Leeuwen, hoogleraar medische ethiek UMCN St. Radboud
- Sophia de Rooij, geriater AMC
- Maartje Schermer, filosoof/ethicus Erasmus MC
- Dorothea Touwen, medisch ethicus LUMC, auteur van Voor een ander
- Rudi Westendorp, hoogleraar ouderengeneeskunde LUMC/directeur Leyden Academy on Vitality and Ageing.
