Care of the dying must be founded on the same ethical principles as the treatment of all other patients.When death becomes inevitable, the aim of treatment alters, but this does not affect adherence to fundamental ethical principles.It is the right of terminally ill patients to be attended to by compassionate, perceptive, and skilled medical personnel who will make an effort to comprehend their requirements and offer them assistance as they navigate their own end of life.Confidentiality and humility are required in all examinations and treatments of the dying patient.An illness invades someone's privacy.The patient has the right to the privacy of information about his illness.
