摘要
Alleviating suffering in the last days of life is being recognised in recent years as a universal human right and as one of the major purposes of medical practice. Ethical reflection on decision-making in this final stage of life is one of the cornerstones of the identity of palliative care. In order to meet the needs of patients and their relatives, an empathetic, caring and respectful attitude is vital. The scientific achievements that medical science has accomplished in the last decades must be complemented by this humanistic philosophy.
