abstract="Voluntary refusal of food and fluids, also known as fasting to die, is a controversial phenomenon in medical and nursing setting. It is a free responsible decision of a patient in ability of reason. However physicians, nurses and relatives could have an ethical problem with this decision. Sometimes this decision is connected with suicide. In the following article I will argue why fasting to die could be a decent leave from life and why fasting to die is letting die and not suicide. © 2019 Georg Thieme Verlag.All right reserved.<p /><p>Language: de</p>",
