Palliative care is a form of integral care of the patient, considering his anthropological and ontological character, as a biopsychosocial and spiritual being, where death and suffering are characteristics that define him and separate him from other species. Bioethical principles give us an approach to understand why it is important to care for the patient in all areas, beyond the curative intention. It allows us to visualize the true goal of palliative care.

Palabras llave : anthropology; palliative care; bioethics; interdisciplinarity.
