Biometrics and ageing: social and ethical considerations

This chapter discusses the major societal and ethical issues raised by biometrics in an ageing society. There are various well-known problems associated with biometrics, like privacy concerns, which certainly affect older people, but which in fact pertain to all users, regardless of age. And there are various ethical and societal issues arising in relation to biometrics and older people, e.g. issues of inclusion and exclusion, which also arise with other non-biometric technologies.
