Decisions to withdraw or withhold life-sustaining treatment are
contentious, and offer difficult moral dilemmas to both medical
practitioners and the judiciary. This issue is exacerbated when the
patient is unable to exercise autonomy and is entirely dependent on
the will of others. This book focuses on the legal and ethical
complexities surrounding end of life decisions for critically
impaired and extremely premature infants. Neera Bhatia explores
decisions to withdraw or withhold life-sustaining treatment from
critically impaired infants and addresses the controversial
question, which lives are too expensive to treat? Bringing to bear
such key issues as clinical guidance, public awareness, and
resource allocation, the book provides a rational approach to end
of life decision making, where decisions to withdraw or withhold
treatment may trump other competing interests. The book will be of
great interest and use to scholars and students of bioethics,
medical law, and medical practitioners.
