title: ["Evoking intellectual autonomy means addressing the relationship between people"].
abstract: The intellectual autonomy of elderly people must be preserved. This concerns all their senses and more widely the feeling of being alive and being connected to others. Elderly people must have control over their own lives up until the end and we must open ourselves up and accept them in their entirety. Paulette Guinchard-Kunstler has worked at the highest level to raise awareness of this issue. An interview with a woman with strong convictions.
