End-of-Life Ethics: A Case Study Approach is the companion book for HFA’s 2012 Living with Grief® program. Using a case study approach, pre-eminent authors from the fields of ethics and hospice and palliative care examine the realities and challenges that exist at the intersection between ethical decision making and end-of-life care. Chapters include challenging cases involving issues of surrogacy; decision making when the patient is a child or adolescent; conflict between health care professionals and family; and palliative sedation. While each case is unique, each chapter shares the perspective that ethics continue to evolve.
