Abstract:
The paper is a reflection on an ethical proposal of death. Death is seen as a natural part in the process of life. There are different ideas focusing on the useless suffering in patients, physician's frustrations and unfair indignation from patients' families. Also questioned is the traditional way to understand the right to live versus the right to a life with quality, understanding the last as the most important. The article concludes with a critical point of view about euthanasia and its implications generated by health professionals in their daily practices.
