Abstract
The ageing of Western societies is leading to a marked increase in mortality. Death and old age are now intertwined. This situation should be of particular concern to palliative care. But in reality, palliative care remains too inaccessible to the oldest sections of the population. Why this paradox? After reviewing the clinical and organisational reasons that are often given, we invite you to take a more global look, one that is both sociological and ethical.
