Why is it important?
The non-resuscitation of patients in terminal stage progressive illness is a humanistic act which aims to meet the bioethical principle of non maleficence with the primordial objective of reducing human distress and avoid the practice of dysthanasia.
Perspectives
The results found in this survey allows us to infer that it is a right moment for the preparation of ethical directives on the do not resuscitate order in Brazil, filling the existing regulation gap in the law.
