Abstract
Recent advances in perinatology allow to take care routinely of extremely preterm babies. Medical problems as well as ethical questions raised by initiation and withdrawal of intensive care of these infants are discussed here. Successively are considered what population is concerned by the so-called limits of viability, the long-term results of the medical interventions and the ethical questions resulting of them.
