Abstract
"El artículo analiza algunas cuestiones éticas debatidas actualmente en relación con el uso de la sedación al final de la vida, tales como: 1. Si existe una diferencia éticamente relevante entre la sedación paliativa y la eutanasia o el suicidio médicamente asistido; 2. Si el principio del doble efecto tiene aplicación para justificar el recurso a la sedación al final de la vida; 3. Si la sedación paliativa puede ser éticamente apropiada para pacientes que no están en etapa de agonía; 4. Si las decisiones de suspender hidratación y/o nutrición médicamente asistidas son condición necesaria para indicar la sedación; 5. Si la sedación es una respuesta apropiada para el manejo de síntomas psicoespirituales, incluyendo el sufrimiento existencial; 6. Si se puede utilizar la sedación en pacientes incompetentes (i.e. personas incapaces de prestar su consentimiento informado). Para cada una de estas interrogantes se propone una reflexión ético-antropológica, haciendo referencia a algunos principios éticos generales, como la inviolabilidad de la vida humana, el respeto por la dignidad de los moribundos, el principio terapéutico y la proporcionalidad en las terapias, el principio del doble efecto, el respeto por el ejercicio responsable de la libertad (autonomía) y la justicia y la solidaridad" [" This article analyzes some of the most controversial ethical questions related to the use of sedation at the end-oflife. Among these questions are: 1. Whether there is an ethically relevant difference between Palliative Sedation (PS) and euthanasia and physician-assisted-suicide; 2. Whether the principle of double effect can be appropriately applied to justify the use of sedation at the end-of-life; 3. Whether PS might be ethically acceptable in the case of patients that are not imminently dying (agony); 4. Whether decisions to limit care and to withdraw medically assisted nutrition and hydration are a necessary condition for PS; 5. Whether sedation is an adequate response to psycho-spiritual symptoms, including ‘existential suffering’; 6. Whether sedation could be used in patients who are not able to give their informed consent (e.g. patients with cognitive impairment of diverse origins). Ethical- and anthropological reflections are proposed for each of these questions. Reference to some general ethical principles is made, such us: the inviolability of human life; respect for the dignity of the dying; the therapeutic principle and proportionality in medical care; the principle of double effect; respect for a responsible exercise of freedom (autonomy); justice and solidarity"]
