Abstract
In current times, medicine responds to a scheme in which scientific knowledge is used
to get a response that aims to remedy a specific pathology. But several phenomena,
such as disease, disability and death are closely linked, having blurred limits and making
science insufficient to propose an answer to human suffering. In these situations, it is
necessary to create new treatment schemes that allow the consideration of multiple
elements that go beyond science to, again, focus on the dignity and the necessities of
the human being. This study, therefore, focuses on evaluating the complexity of several
events that take place in advanced or terminal pathologies in order to create a plan that
can be adapted to the individual. Beyond medical futilities and the autonomy, a methodology
that involves medical, ethical, personal, relational, cultural, social and economic
aspects is proposed, in order to provide an integral attention to the individual.
