Moral and Ethical Dilemmas: Seven Years into the Debate About Human Ambiguity
In: The annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, Band 447, Heft 1, S. 19-28
ISSN: 1552-3349
Developments in modern medical technology force many questions upon the health professions and the public. To what extent should technology be used to extend life when doing so seems futile, perhaps brutal? Who should decide such questions? What options should be available? Conditions in which such questions arise are often chaotic because of the nature of illness and treatment and because many extremely important issues in life have been poorly deliberated by the health professions and the public. This essay is an attempt to clarify some of the issues.
