Resumen
Ha sido verdaderamente dificultoso para mí elegir un tema a exponer que de sentido al propósito que se persigue en la asignatura. Y si digo esto, no es porque los contenidos de la asignatura no tengan variedad en cuanto a puntos de abordaje, sino más bien, todo lo contrario: son muchas las implicaciones, las dudas y las disyuntivas que plantea el tema dada la gran complejidad que engloba.
Palabras clave:
actitudes ante la muerte; encarnizamiento terapéutico dilemas éticos

Abstract:
“It was really difficult for me to chose a presentation topic that would faithfully represent the objective pursued by the course subject. And I say this not because the contents of the subject are void of a variety in terms of approach points, but totally the contrary. There are a lot of implications, doubts and disjunctive scenarios presented by the magnitude of this complex subject.
At the beginning I thought about performing an analysis on any alternative therapeutic measures that could be useful in improving our attitudes towards people who suffer from irreversible terminal diseases. In the end, I thought that performing a study on the magnitude of terminal disease would allow me to determine my own inclinations regarding death and what death means in the life of human beings. What is death for me? What experiences do I have with death? These and many other reflections resulting from this inner thinking process made me think that maybe it was more appropriate to explore myself instead, going back in time to my past through my memories and back until the present time. In this journey I compiled a sequential bibliography of the personal implication of the word “death” according to my own scale of values, which means doing it according to my own principles. That involved exploring what feelings it generates in me, what sensations I get from it, how this method has evolved as a result of my own maturity process as a person, the influence the environment has had on me, and the repercussions it has had on my training as a nurse in the construction of such knowledge.
