Abstract

Treatment for the terminally ill requires that medical staff workers help patients to pace pain and death as well as establish a “relationship of help” that humanizes these last moments of life. In this regard, the right to psychological, spiritual and family assistance constitutes a support of hope. These aspects, along whit a presentation of the rights of terminally ill, make up Professor Francisco Leon’s discussion of Bioethics dealt with in this article.
