A challenge for 21^st century medicine is to rediscover the value of philanthropy and philotechnia in contemporary clinical practice because both are terms that adapt to our more current understanding of how value-based medicine and evidence-based medicine must always go "hand in hand." Our proposal is to offer an integral ethical deliberation method that implies a holistic view of the ethical dilemmas in pediatric clinical practice.
