The Arizona Bioethics Network continues its webinar
series on March 28 with
"Exploring the Nature and Meaning of Medical Futility – A Case Involving a
Neurologically Devastated 2 Year Old" by Rebecca Volpe, Director of the Clinical Ethics Consultation Service at Penn State College of Medicine.
Here is the program description: "This presentation will explore the nature and meaning of
futility. We will address questions such as What is the relationship between
futility and worth? and Are healthcare providers obliged to deliver futile
treatment? We will discuss futility within the context of a neurologically
devastated 2 y/o whose parents demand continued aggressive treatment despite
the medical teams concerns that such treatment is futile. This presentation is
intended for both pediatric and adult practitioners."
