Intensive care units and ethical issues
Abstract:
The October – December 2003 issue of IME carried two interesting articles that raise some interesting questions. Prolonging life at any cost in the terminal state is definitely not justified. Medical practioners have subtly practised this art of palliation where prolongation of life is abrogated, with or without legal sanctions.
