A response to “Can Voice Be Given If No One Is Listening?,” by Chelsea A. Jack
Men and Abortion Decisions
The male sexual partner often has no voice in the decision about whether to go forward with a pregnancy, and the standard view in bioethics is that he ought not to have. The consensus is that the decision to instead have an abortion is and should be exclusively the pregnant woman's. By and large, the pro‐choice and pro‐life sides are united in this view even though they are divided about the morality of abortion. After all, the developing fetus i…
Ending Life
Perspective
When I am dying, I am quite sure that the central sues for me will not be whether I am put on ventilator, whether CPR is attempted when my heart stops, or whether I receive artificial feeding. Although each of these could be important, each will almost certainly be quite peripheral. Rather, my central concerns will be how to face my death, how to bring my life to a close, and how best to help my family go on without me. A ventilator will not help…
Chaplain's Role in End of Life Care
score that what I am trying to argue for in my article is not so much further, fairly straightforward application of social scientific tactics to bioethical problems, important though that is. Rather, I'm calling for taking a particular perspective on bioethics and the social sciences as theoretical practices-a slant that foregrounds the assumptions, both normative and empirical, that both activities tend to harbor, in the interest of developing …
Is There a Duty to Die
Many people were outraged when Richard Lamm claimed that old people had a duty to die. Modern medicine and an individualistic culture have seduced many to feel that they have a right to health care and a right to live, despite the burdens and costs to our families and society. But in fact there are circumstances when we have a duty to die. As modern medicine continues to save more of us from acute illness, it also delivers more of us over to chro…

Support and the Invisible Family
just have to believe that my mother simply isn't aware of what she's doing to me and my life. The tone of weariness and near desperation in my friend Jane's voice made it clear that if she did not believe this, she would be filled with anger and resentment at her dying mother. Despite terminal heart disease, her mother, Helen, an eighty-three-year-old former nurse, keeps opting for life-prolonging treatment. For the past eighteen months, the hosp…
The Role of Trust in Knowledge
What about the Family
The prevalent ethic of patient autonomy ignores family interests in medical treatment decisions. Acknowledging these interests as legitimate forces basic changes in ethical theory and the moral practice of medicine
