Ethics and life's ending; An exchange

Article Abstract:

A Director of Ethics and a member of the US Presidents' Council on Bioethics share their views on whether a feeding tube can be used, or should be used in a particular situation. The moral debate about the use or non-use of feeding tubes hinges on three important considerations that is the distinction between what in the past was called 'ordinary' and 'extraordinary' treatments, the important social symbolism of feeding, and a distinction between withholding and withdrawing treatments.
