[Euthanasia: compulsory reflection].

Euthanasia should be considered one of the main philosophical topics of today's medical practice. In view of the technological advances in medicine, the economic pressure in the majority of our medical systems, and a deep alteration and modification in the patient-physician relationship, the status of some patients in their final days should be reconsidered. The increased awareness of the public about euthanasia and related topics (pain, assisted suicide, dying with dignity, etc.) suggests that a urgent dialogue between lay persons and physicians is needed.

[About death. A review and a proposal].

The experience of the human being towards death is reviewed in this essay. Some historical, medical and psychological points of view are analyzed. It is disquieting to note that the death theme, as well as the experience of patients who confront their own death, are forgotten topics and occasionally even vetoed by patients and physicians. We consider that is timely and important to reflect about death. The advancement of medical technology must walk in parallel with physician-patient relationship. Who, if not the doctor, is to help his patient to die in comfort?
