Ageism, covidical syndemic and Intervention Bioethics: an interdisciplinary concreteness
una concreción interdisciplinaria
Keywords:
Ageism. COVID-19. Bioethics. Aging.Abstract
This is a critical-reflexive theoretical study with the objective is to reflect on issues of an interdisciplinary nature: ageism in the complexity of the Covid-19 pandemic in the light of the fundamentals of Intervention Bioethics. The assumption is that complex problems require complex solutions, which a fragmented, disciplinary view is not capable of addressing. For this, the essay is organized in three acts: ageism as an old and persistent phenomenon; the Covid 19 pandemic and the expansion of ageism; and the bioethical approach as an episteme and interventional tool. It is hoped that this theoretical exercise can transcend into personal, relational, and institutional daily life, where understanding about the dimensions and determinants of ageism can incite creative ethical thoughts, feelings, and attitudes to mitigate age-related depreciative aspects.
