Resum:
I would like to understand, as a pediatrician who has been working in extremely poor zones of Central America and taking care of the youngest population where a gastro-enteritis can be mortal, the assistance of extremely premature infants of less 28 weeks in my countryAt first I only noticed the difference between the budgets here and there the same population them from an anthropologic point of view I wanted to understand why doctors, parents and institutions accept the risk of reviving extremely premature infants o fetal infants.This risk is assumed for one life which will be lived by another person who by the fact of his /her immaturity, not for any illnesses can be seriously affected This risk has to be taken in front of a determinate style of life, of family of motherhood and about the finality of medicine and not for the only reason there are technique means enough to maintain him/her aliveIn my thesis I try to know the problems about extremely premature infants and the question is if we must do all what technically is possible or we need ethical limits.
