Overcoming Legal Impediments to Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment
The Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST), otherwise known as the POLST paradigm, represents the next generation in end-of-life (EOL) planning for certain patients who wish to exercise prospective control over their own medical treatment in their final days. As is true for any physician treatment orders, a POLST is written in consultation with the patient or patient's surrogate. There are a number of practical impediments to wide…
Assessing Assessments of Decision-Making Capacity
THE legal and ethical principle of autonomy is central to the enterprise of making decisions about major life activities, including medical care and the management of one’s financial affairs, in modern American culture. To be truly autonomous, a choice must be made voluntarily, based on sufficient relevant information, and by a capable decision maker. Thus, the ability to accurately assess their decision-making capacity is essential to protecting…
Economic Influences on End-of-Life Care
Although very little actual evidence on the issue is available, much ethical speculation has been voiced about the probable impact of the current cost containment-oriented economic climate in the United States on decisions that are being made and implemented in the context of end-of-life medical care. This article, after noting that numerous factors besides money drive the behavior of various actors in the health care system, turns to the economi…

Euthanasia and Physician-Assisted Suicide
A place like that
Decisions about admitting a mentally incapacitated person to a nursing home raise a variety of difficult legal, ethical, and public policy issues. A strategy for anticipating and addressing this contingency prospectively, by encouraging execution of formal advance planning directives while the individual is still capable, may mitigate some of the dilemmas associated with these issues. The author discusses the contours and feasibility of such a st…

Treatment and refusal rights in mental health
The impact of recognition by courts and legislatures in the 1970s and early 1980s of patients' rights to receive or to refuse mental health treatment is evaluated. The implementation of these rights in practice does not appear to have exerted an unduly disruptive or destructive effect on mental health services or their clienteles. At the same time, their recognition has not led to the salutary therapeutic jurisprudence envisioned by their propone…

Living and dying in the jewish way
This article compares and contrasts the modern American secular emphasis on individual rights and autonomous decision making in the "right to die" context with the traditional emphasis on obligation to others and to God found in Orthodox Judaism. The approach of Conservative and Reform Judaism to decision-making about life-sustaining medical treatments also is explicated and used as the basis for posing a variety of questions regarding the proper…
Life‐Sustaining Technologies
This article examines life‐extending technologies such as resuscitation, mechanical ventilation, antibiotics, dialysis, and artificial nutrition and hydration. It considers these technologies in terms of the value issues of (1) equity of access, (2) equity of allocation, (3) cost‐effectiveness and appropriateness of use, (4) legal concerns, and (5) determination and control of the application of technology. How we resolve these issues tests our c…
Medical Empowerment of the Elderly
