title: [Ethics in care during the dying process: case report].
abstract: This study considers ethical issues related to the terminally ill. Its aims are to report the experience of home care and to promote a reflection about the ethical dilemma of caring the terminally ill. We concluded that the bioethical acting in this kind of situation involves a kind of conscience that can only be developed when the patient's reality is understood. We also realized the relevance of an interdisciplinary approach as a strategy for the holistic care to the terminally ill and the need to give attention to care when the cure is not possible, but the quality of life in the last moments of life.
