Children in precarious health present particular problems for
healthcare professionals because of their intimate relation to
their family, and because of the family's need to provide major
long-term source of support and to be actively involved in the
decisions about their children's care. This collection of cases and
commentaries in pediatrics highlights the difficult ethical
dilemmas that can arise during high-tech hospital care of children
in precarious circumstances. It serves as a teaching tool for
clinical ethics and as an introduction for medical students and
residents. Clinical cases are described in detail by the physicians
involved, who focus on the ethical issues arising during treatment.
Each case is then commented on in detail by a philosopher or other
bioethicist. It thus serves well as an introduction to contemporary
clinical bioethics, but with a firm grounding in the practicalities
of real-life pediatric care in the hospital setting.
