 Ethics for Lunch Seminar Series:

Whose Interests Count?

George Hardart, MD
Director of Pediatric Clinical Bioethics and Associate Clinical Professor of Pediatrics

Newborns and older children may have severe illnesses that force parents to make critical decisions. Dr. Hardart will present the case of a newborn with a life threatening illness where the family chose to turn down life-saving treatment at least partially based on the impact that the survival of the child would have on the family. Is it possible that in certain situations it really is appropriate to consider the interests of other involved parties?  What justifications, if any, explain when and why it is appropriate? What about the interests of the newborn? The ethical and humanistic implications of these controversial decisions will be discussed.
