Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Unprecedented advances in medical technology can save lives, but they also produce complex ethical questions for providers, patients, and government alike. What is the value of human life? When, if ever, is a life not worth saving? In which expensive technologies should limited resources be invested? These questions are reaching into the boardroom as trustees seek to shape institutional policy and help practitioners with the life and death decisions they face. |
