Why is prolonging life for terminally ill patients such a difficult issue for physicians?
There has to be a balance between respect for life at all costs, and the reality of maintaining and using scarce resources for those who are healthy and/or those whose illnesses can be cured. It is a dilemma, and an ethical issue that we have not really solved at state or federal levels. Is it reasonable for us to maintain someone who is in a persistent and intractable vegetative state even if the vegetative state may last for many years? If someone is conscious but terminally ill and either in unbearable pain or in a medically induced coma, should a patient's desire to end the pain be recognized as a legitimate treatment given the physician's oath to 'do no harm'? Could it be argued that maintaining life while there is no quality of life whatsoever is really a form of doing harm?
