Abstract
Faced with the challenge posed to public policy by the increasing longevity of people living with or without loss of autonomy, mostly in their own homes, France has recently adopted various pieces of legislation. These texts give priority to home care, the promotion of decision-making autonomy and respect for rights and freedoms.
期刊介绍:
This review aims to compare approaches to medical ethics and bioethics in two forms, Anglo-Saxon (Ethics, Medicine and Public Health) and French (Ethique, Médecine et Politiques Publiques). Thus, in their native languages, the authors will present research on the legitimacy of the practice and appreciation of the consequences of acts towards patients as compared to the limits acceptable by the community, as illustrated by the democratic debate.
