  • Summary

    In this chapter of Complex Ethics Consultations: Cases that Haunt Us, the author discusses how the four cases in Part VI remain relevant as medical science continues to provide clinical innovations and as patients and their families research and request unorthodox treatments. Considerations about the limits of autonomy, moral distress, and the role of medical advocacy continue to be discussed and debated today as they were when these cases were originally written. However, ethics consultation as a practice has evolved to include awareness and inclusion of cultural context and equity as important factors that can inform decision making, and ensuring more comprehensive consideration of these features in all consultation work should be a goal as medical science progresses.
