Abstract: In 2005, the French law on patients' rights at the end of life required that decisions to withdraw or withhold life-sustaining treatments be made and carried out by the physician in charge of the patient, after obtaining advice from an independent consulting colleague and the caregiving team. The purpose of this study was to identify theoretical and practical obstacles to this collaborative deliberation and to propose practical guidelines to organize it.<br /> (Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Masson SAS.
