A patient is in a coma
that appears irreversible. His mother, who is his surrogate, firmly believes
that he will recover and that God is taking a hand to work a miracle if
everyone will just wait long enough. She wants everything done for the patient,
including resuscitation if he arrests. She insists that he stay in the
hospital, and is very upset that he was transferred out of the ICU and his care
was moved to comfort measures, rather than aggressive treatment. The mother
does not speak English and is strong in her religious beliefs. The physicians
for the patient are very upset and concerned about continuing to provide care
that they believe is futile. The patient is developing a serious pneumonia, and
the mother wants it treated aggressively. The physicians are reluctant. Analyze
this case from the ethical principles of justice, benevolence, non-malfeasance,
and autonomy.

In this time of limited
financial resources and reduced government payments for health care services,
what are the ethical issues of limiting care? How much uncompensated care can
hospitals absorb? Where do people with no resources go for care? What is the
state’s responsibility to ensure health care services? What are the ethical considerations
that should be taken into account?
