Abstract:
Judgment and actions based on scientific evidence are modified by the unique caregiver-patient relationship. Caregivers relying exclusively upon "rational" decisions in line with evidence-based clinical recommendations avoid their relational responsibility. The "noble" purpose illustrates that decisions to treat can be at the same time pointless and valuable. Dia (through) - logue (knowledge) makes it possible to go beyond informed consent, which holds caregivers responsible for providing information and patients for the decision to treat. Finally, where healing is no longer achievable and autonomy dies away, compassion rather than therapeutic tenacity might be the answer. These examples are explained corresponding to the philosophical ideas of respectively Emmanuel Levinas en Roger Burgraeve (noble purpose), Martin Buber (dialogical thinking) and Daniel C. Dennett (autonomy loss).
