Summary/Abstract: The birth and death are natural parts of human life. The arrival of a baby to this world is often vividly and widely discussed issue in the family, media, at school (it is directly included in school rituals, school books and textbooks); we often encounter colourful descriptions of various aspects of the baby’s arrival to this world. On the other hand, the phenomena of the end of human life are depicted only in a symbolic way; in modern societies of the 21st century, the topic of death is being tabooed to large extent. In the era of a considerable demographic trend, when a noticeable ageing of the Slovak population can be witnessed, it is necessary to pay close attention to the phenomena of ageing and death.
