No specialty faces more diverse and challenging ethical dilemmas
than palliative medicine. What is the best way to plan ahead for
the end of life? How should physicians respond when patients refuse
treatments likely to be beneficial, or demand treatments not likely
to be? Who makes medical decisions for patients who are too ill to
decide for themselves? Do patients have the "right to die" (and, if
so, what exactly does that mean)? In this volume noted palliative
care physician and bioethicist Robert C. Macauley addresses a broad
range of issues from historical, legal, clinical, and ethical
perspectives. Clinically nuanced and philosophically rigorous,
Ethics in Palliative Care analyzes hot-button subjects like
physician assisted dying and euthanasia, as well as often
overlooked topics such as pediatric palliative care, organ
donation, palliative care research, and moral distress. Drawing on
real cases yet written in non-technical language, this complete
guide will appeal to both medical professionals and lay readers.
