RODRIGUEZ SORIANO, Roberto Israel. Enteral feeding as palliative care (in the context of a Terminal disease). A reflection from biopolitics. Rev. colomb. bioét. [online]. 2019, vol.14, n.2, e06. Epub 08-Mar-2024. ISSN 1900-6896.
This paper offers a problematization of the ethical dilemma that represents the medical procedure of enteral feeding as palliative care in the context of a Terminal disease. The interpretative hypothesis is that this procedure can be viewed from a biopolitical perspective.
To support the thesis, I refer the basis that the Modern State uses to defend life from medical practices with a Hip-pocratic perspective, thus conforming mechanism for the control of life. According to the thesis enteral nutrition as palliative care would be presented as one of the medical practices that more clearly exemplify the intention of political control of human life.
