BETANCOURT BETANCOURT, Gilberto de Jesús. Limiting life-sustaining medical treatment versus euthanasia: a bioethical reflection. []. , 11, 2, pp. 259-273. ISSN 1727-8120.

The practice of limiting life-sustaining medical treatment is nothing new at intensive care units. Euthanasia should be distinguished from limiting life-sustaining medical treatments, which is considered as a good practice. This paper presents a theoretical reflection based on a bioethical analysis of the main differences between both of them.
