Abstract

Orthothanasia is the non-investment in invasive and even futile actions and procedures that aim to prolong the suffering and death of an individual with an incurable disease at the end of life. In other words, orthothanasia provides a dignified death without suffering through palliative care, which consists of care provided to a person with an incurable disease.
