title: [Euthanasia in anesthesiology and intensive care. Intensive care, resource management and a dignified death].
abstract: Active euthanasia should not be part of medicine. As far as passive euthanasia is concerned, attention has been focussed on dignified death, but more important is the question of what patients should benefit, and to what degree, from the limited resources available, but this is the general responsibility of leadership.
