Currently there are around 630 million 60-year-olds living in the world. According to WHO estimates, in 2050 the number will exceed 2,000,000,000. Care of this group of people is gaining a new meaning. It is generally believed that people should treat others in a moral manner, which should also apply to the elderly. Morality imposes certain restrictions on the actions taken to satisfy selfish desires. It identifies a number of objectives to be followed in life. This work is an attempt to determine more precisely what a moral action means in relation to care of the elderly in light of different ethical approaches.
