Description

To the Editor: From the moment that contemporary medicine began to acquire the ability to stave off death almost indefinitely, the question arose as to whether there could be too much of a good thing. This question is debated to this day, as is evidenced by the essay set featured in the September-October 2008 issue of the Hastings Center Report. Just three decades ago, the morality, legality, and practicality of knowing when to resign ourselves to the inevitability of death began to be openly debated. Over the ensuing years, a consensus about forgoing life-sustaining treatment gradually emerged and became reasonably well accepted, though resistance to it continues and probably will for a long time to come.
