Abstract:
Neonatal intensive care frequently gives rise to challenging ethical questions, particularly when there are decisions to be made about starting or stopping potentially life-sustaining medical treatment. In this talk, I will cover three common and important questions relating to neonatal end of life care. When is it ethical to allow a newborn infant to die? How should decisions be reached about providing or discontinuing life-sustaining treatment? What decisions or actions are ethical (and unethical) as part of the end of life care of a newborn infant?
