As we have seen, many uses of high-tech home care are viewed by\nwilling individuals and families as unalloyed benefits, as cherished\nopportunities to be with loved ones at home rather than in a hospital, or to\nresume a normal life outside the home. In this section, we shall dwell on the\ndarker side, investigating the more problematic implications of high-tech home\ncare for patients and caregivers. Here we examine a set of ethical and social\nproblems that, while not being unique to this form of care, at least display a\ncharacteristic "spin" in their high-tech environment
