["Espace national de réflexion éthique sur la maladie d'Alzheimer--EREMA". Another approach to Alzheimer's disease and ethical responsibility].

The creation in 2010 of a national ethical area on Alzheimer disease illustrates the evolution in the French context towards an institutionalization of ethical approach concerning chronic diseases and long term care. This paper presents the background of such a national area, how it works, its objectives and two concrete outputs: the charter "Alzheimer Ethics & Society 2011" and the advice "Alzheimer, ethics and society", published in September 2012.
