As research increasingly solves health problems, ethical dilemmas for families multiply. In an effort to help answer some of the questions the FSU School of Nursing is bringing experts in health-care clinical ethics to a conference May 31 and June 1 at FSU's Turnbull Center.
Ethical questions are as varied as health care itself.
The exploding cost of treatment possibilities that come from research must be addressed. Someone makes the ultimate decision in health care for each person. There is often a split decision, and strife within the health-care community as well as within families. Terri Branning will present the view of a managed-care consultant. The conference is recommended for physicians, nurses, administrators, social workers, ethics consultants and anyone with a strong interest in the subject.
