End-of-Life Care and Pragmatic Decision Making
Every one of us will die, and the processes we go through will be our own - unique to our own experiences and life stories. It is reasonable to reflect on what kinds of dying processes may be better or worse for us as we move toward our end. Such consideration, however, can raise troubling ethical concerns for patients, families, and healthcare providers.
