This book explores the landmark cases that have influenced the course of end-of-life decision making, as well as newer ethical models that are emerging. Chapters include challenging cases involving issues of surrogacy, decision making when the patient is an adolescent, conflict between clinicians and family members, and palliative sedation.

Review

This volume takes a unique approach to ethics at end-of-life by examining core ethical dilemmas through an analytical case study approach. Each chapter presents a real-world case that illustrates the dilemma, provides the author s perspective on what was happening in the event, and explains how the case is resolved. Along the way, readers are challenged to think,What would I do? or If this happened in my institution, how would our staff respond? The book will be useful to those who help pre-medical and medical students think about the real-world dilemmas they will face as physicians. --William G. Hoy, Theoretical Medicine & Bioethics, Springer
