Abstract
This paper aims to explore the diverse strategies employed by various countries in managing end-of- life care. It examines the interplay between the State, the marketplace, and the family in navigating this critical phase of the human lifecycle. The core argument presented advocates for a paradigm shift away from intensive medical interventions towards an increased emphasis on palliative care. This proposed transition holds significant potential benefits, including the reduction of social insurance costs, minimizing out-of-pocket expenditures for families, and alleviating unnecessary suffering for patients.
