Abstract:
Diet is inseparable from the concept of life. When this function cannot be physiologically done by the patient receiving palliative care, may she always be replaced by invasive medical therapy? What are the benefits of nutrition and hydration in terminally ill patients versus the risks posed by this type of intervention? This issue is dealing with the representations related to life, death and health. Parenteral nutrition can be justified medically and ethically, in the same extent?
Keywords: nutrition , artificial alimentation , ethical principles , ethical dilemmas
