Ethics of death and dying.

This paper focuses on selected ethical questions that can arise in caring for the dying. They are: (1) What are the limits of treatment and who decides them? (2) How do we deal with suffering and the alleviation of pain? (3) How does the nurse present her humane self to the dying patient? The framework used to reason through these questions comes from the criteria developed to describe the concept, full life.
