Abstract

End-stage neurological complications of AIDS present significant challenges in palliative care, requiring a delicate balance between symptom management, patient autonomy, and ethical considerations. Neurological manifestations, including cognitive decline, motor dysfunction, and profound pain, severely impact patients’ quality of life. In such scenarios, palliative care aims to alleviate suffering and provide holistic support, while the question of euthanasia introduces complex ethical debates. This article explores the methodologies, outcomes, and ethical considerations associated with palliative care and euthanasia, offering insights into the nuanced approaches to managing advanced neurological complications of AIDS.
