Technological advances in the field of medicine have resulted in the prolongation of lives that under ordinary conditions would have terminated. Such advances, though calling attention to the wonders of modern technology, are not without significant complications. The injudicious application of extraordinary procedures for extending life highlights problems that affect medical, social, and psychological as well as moral and ethical realms. The complexity of the problems has long since perplexed health/human service practitioners charged with effecting and/or assisting in the implementation of the critical life-death decisions on which this paper focuses. A systematic strategy is outlined to guide human service providers in making decisions regarding the application or withholding of life-sustaining procedures. Emphasis is placed upon the integrity of self-determination as it relates to competency. Procedures for the incompetent patient are recommended. |
