ABSTRACT
The lie is considered a moral flaw, always has a negative connotation.
Nevertheless its use is very extended from the biological point
of view as mechanism of survival and in the human being, even from
the point of view of social integration. Self-deception, considered a
supreme manifestation of the human use of lies, is closely related to
the generation of optimism and hope, people with problems to integrate
self-deception have more frequently pathological alterations in
mood, especially depression. The advantages and disadvantages of
the use of lying to promote self-deception in patients with terminal
illness are analyzed from some ethical-philosophical points of view.
