Critically Impaired Infants and End of Life Decision Making

Meer over het boek

The book delves into the intricate legal and ethical dilemmas associated with end-of-life decisions for critically impaired and extremely premature infants. Neera Bhatia examines the contentious issue of when to withdraw or withhold life-sustaining treatment, questioning the financial implications of such choices. By addressing clinical guidance, public awareness, and resource allocation, it presents a rational framework for decision-making, emphasizing that the choice to withdraw treatment may take precedence over other competing interests.
