A short description of the physiological changes caused by dehydration and lack of calories is followed by a framework of guidelines that could provide a basis for care dying patients beyond mere mitigation of suffering. It is derived from the observation of the laws that we perceive to govern the processes of birth and death, living and dying. Polarity and the inherent rules of human developmental changes are defined as perpetually valid aspects of wisdom and are set off against the perpetually changing frontiers of knowledge with their limited validity. In conclusion, we submit an outline of our practical efforts in dealing with dying patients at the Affoltern Bezirksspital.
在简要描述了脱水和缺乏热量所引起的生理变化之后，接着是一个指导方针框架，该框架可为临终患者的护理提供基础，而不仅仅是减轻痛苦。它源自对我们认为支配出生与死亡、生存与 dying（此处原文可能有误，推测为“死亡”）过程的规律的观察。极性和人类发育变化的内在规则被定义为智慧中永恒有效的方面，并与知识的不断变化且有效性有限的前沿相对照。最后，我们提交了一份在阿福尔滕地区医院处理临终患者的实际工作概述。
