Is Senile Dementia an Insanity or a Madness? A Moral Question to Hospital Apparatus
Person who is 82 ages usually has a
mentally confused or behaving strangely because of old age. This condition is
well-known as senility. He has lain on a bed at home without well memories to
remember or exact words to say what he means. Sometimes he has spoken what has
been misunderstood kindly, and sometimes he has gotten sick. Accordingly,
insanity is a state of being mentally ill categorised as being outside normal
(sorry), although senility is caused by old age.
The question is is senility an insanity or
even a madness? The treatment of ours that is claimed as normal categorises old
person is be the same as mentally illness person. Where is rightly humanity if
hospital apparatus act be inhuman? Old person with senility is totally not a
man with madness. Moreover even mad people are human too.
During Middle Ages, binary opposition
between normal and abnormal has been rising and institutionalising as prison.
Humandkind has to think what the truth or not is, yet they also must be fair in
practice what is gained from that truth. In sociological views, binary
opposition is constructed by common logical fallacies. None of all asocial
problem has to be treated by medical technique. "Let it be my bussines. Do
your duty to treat his body medically instead."
Or we are treated like that only because
they look us up and down like we have no guarantee to pay them?
