Abstract
There are many ethical decisions to be made during palliative care of a patient with motor neurone disease. These may concern the physical and psychosocial care of the patient and will become highlighted when death approaches. By close involvement of the patient and his/her family with the interdisciplinary team the most appropriate decisions on the patient's care can be made.
