"The Patient Self-Determination Act of 1990 required medical facilities to provide patients with written notification of their right to refuse or consent to medical treatment. Using this act as an important vehicle for improving the health care decision-making process, Lawrence P. Ulrich explains the social, legal, and ethical background to the act by focusing on well-known cases such as those of Karen Quinlan and Nancy Cruzan, and he explores ways in which physicians and other caregivers can help patients face the complex issues in contemporary health care practices." "This book provides concrete guidance to health care professionals, medical ethicits, and patient-rights advocates."--Jacket.
