The legal and ethical issues of the process of dying and death will continue to be part of the individual's and society's concerns. Better healthcare professionals in the area of aging are necessary, with a special focus needed to address the physical changes in older men and women. Urban transportation systems must assist older adults in maintaining social contacts and provide easier access to preventive healthcare facilities. The use of the Internet can benefit the older population via offering various methods of maintaining contact with family and friends.
