Resumen
MONTEIRO, Filipe. Principle of autonomy: Right of self-disposal till the end? A case report. Rev Port Pneumol [online]. 2009, vol.15, n.3, pp.529-536. ISSN 0873-2159.
The doctor -patient relationship should be established in ethical principles. The codes of conduct that guide the relation between the doctor and the patient are addressed to the physician (principle of beneficence and non -maleficence) or oriented to the patient (principle of autonomy). As such, in certain circumstances there can be some tension between the principles. Based on a case report in a setting of principles conflict, ethical and legal considerations are made so far as the doctors attitude is concerned.
