- Abstract
In spite of important advances in diseases treatment, death is still unavoidable for humanbeing. Therefore, it should be taken into account that "well-dying" is one of the goals of Medicine. From Psychooncology, Living Wills (LV) are a legal tool with therapeutic aims. They are a way to open dialogue about topics related to death and a valious instrument for moral deliberation and decision making process. If LV are developed in a therapeutic context of mutual trust, they become a helper of well-being for patient and family.
