![]() ![]() ![]() 4–7 There are usually situations of great technological complexity and very emotional that require the discernment of entities of interdisciplinary deliberation, such as health care ethics committees. ![]() The management of this process generates ethical dilemmas that require a careful and respectful look to the person's dignity. The end-of-life process is a particularly complex field in technologically developed societies. In this paper we intend to present comprehensive and coordinated ethical, medical and legal aspects in this respect, so that health professionals have the necessary updating to act according to the lex artis, in the current legislation, and to promote reflection in the profession on this matter, in anticipation of potential future changes in regulation. Although it is not the first time that this debate has reached the Congress of Deputies, several political parties have recently submitted motions to address the end-of-life conditions, including decriminalizing euthanasia in one of these motions. In recent months, the political debate about dignified death has been significantly intensified in Spain. This, together with the aging of the population, assistance to people with advanced chronic diseases and fragile patients, underlines the relevance of this debate. The advances of medicine and other related sciences entail the extension or maintenance of a person's life to limits unsuspected a few years ago. From perspectives in various fields, such as political, legal, ethical or medical-legal perspective, a debate and the contribution of new concepts arise. Progressively the issues related to the end-of-life process have gained interest in the last decade in our country.

The key characteristics of Medicina Clínica are the scientific and methodological rigor of its manuscripts, the topicality of its contents, and, especially, its practical focus with highly useful information for clinical practice.
