    End of life care: an ethical overview
    (University of Minnesota Center for Bioethics, 2005) University of Minnesota: Center for Bioethics
    Beginning with a definition of death in modern society and continuing all the way through post-death issues, End of Life Care: An Ethical Overview presents significant ethical issues related to death and dying. We focus on ethical considerations of subjects that include the benefits and drawbacks of various types of modern treatment, ending life through physician assistance or termination of treatment, options for preserving the individual autonomy of the patient, the special situation of terminally ill children, and conducting medical research. Each section includes key terminology sufficient to form a basic understanding of the issue and ethical arguments on both sides of the question. A list of further resources, as well as references throughout the paper, provide quick and easy access to further information on topics of particular interest.
