La distanasia consiste en el empleo de todos los medios posibles, sean proporcionados o no, para retrasar el advenimiento de la muerte, a pesar de que no haya esperanza alguna de curación. También es conocida como encarnizamiento terapéutico, pues no considera los sufrimientos añadidos al moribundo. 2, record 1, Spanish, - encarnizamiento%20terap%C3%A9utico
