Illness is the night-side of life, a more onerous citizenship.
An Overview of the Dissertation. For when we start hearing less about the right to life and more about the right to die we have to ask if medicine has gone too far and gotten lost in the glory of its own successes. Medical decisions and more significantly, the relationships between health care providers and their patients, have taken on a new importance. Accordingly, this work tries to establish, if not re-affirm, the rights, the responsibilities, and the roles of those providers and patients. Secondly, it is concerned with addressing the possible interests and rights of those we would call incompetent as well as the interests and rights of those who provide for them.
