ARROYO-AMAYUELAS, Esther. Cognitive impairment in old age. Between vulnerability and disability. Rev. Bioética y Derecho [online]. 2019, n.45, pp.127-147. ISSN 1886-5887.
The following pages illustrate the trends in Europe in terms of adult protection and the impact the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (New York, 2006) has on national legal systems. In particular, the paper analyses the legal system of guardianship in Catalonia, called "assistència", which is a suitable institution for a myriad of cases and seems to be especially convenient for those fragile people who, due to advanced age, suffer physical and/or mental or intellectual deterioration. The conclusion is that it should replace institutions that involve judicial limitation of legal capacity and become an institution of general application in the whole Spanish territory.
