Summary/Abstract: The incentive for revalorization of aging and old age derives from the tendencies of modern society which looks upon this stage in life with depreciation and stigmatization of the expending agents of pension, social and healthcare funds. It is therefore necessary to affirm this stage in life by promoting vitalizing tendencies of the positive aspect of healthy and active aging with bioethical-legal protection and empathic support from the pastoral proximity of church-pastoral models.
