چکیده
In 2005, the French law on patients' rights at the end of life ratified that decisions to withdraw or withhold life-sustaining treatments must be made and carried out by the physician in charge of the patient, after obtaining the advice of an independent consulting colleague. The purpose of this text is to put forward the perspective of a pediatric multidisciplinary workshop regarding the role of the consulting physician and to propose guidelines to help choose this consultant.
