This commitment has often meant that patients spend their last days suffering from heroic interventions that extend their life by only weeks or months. Increasingly, this approach to end-of-life care is coming under scrutiny, from a moral as well as a financial perspective. Sociologist Roi Livne documents the rise and effectiveness of hospice and palliative care, and growing acceptance of the idea that a life consumed by suffering may not be worth living. Values at the End of Life combines an in-depth historical analysis with an extensive study conducted in three hospitals, where Livne observed terminally ill patients, their families, and caregivers negotiating treatment. Livne describes the ambivalent, conflicted moments when people articulate and act on their moral intuitions about dying. Interviews with medical staff allowed him to isolate the strategies clinicians use to help families understand their options. As Livne discovered, clinicians are advancing the idea that invasive, expensive hospital procedures often compound a patient's suffering. Affluent, educated families were more readily persuaded by this moral calculus than those of less means. Once defiant of death--or even in denial--many American families and professionals in the health care system are beginning to embrace the notion that less treatment in the end may be better treatment.--$$cProvided by publisher. 000867206 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000867206 650_0 $$aTerminal care$$xEconomic aspects$$zUnited States. 000867206 650_0 $$aTerminal care$$xMoral and ethical aspects$$zUnited States. 000867206 650_0 $$aPalliative treatment$$xEconomic aspects$$zUnited States. 000867206 650_0 $$aPalliative treatment$$xMoral and ethical aspects$$zUnited States. 000867206 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aLivne, Roi, 1978-$$tValues at the end of life.$$dCambridge, Massachusetts : Harvard University Press, 2019$$z9780674545175$$w(DLC) 2018047863 000867206 852__ $$bcoll 000867206 85280 $$bebk$$hEBSCOhost 000867206 85640 $$3eBooks on EBSCOhost$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=2103688$$zOnline Access 000867206 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:867206$$pGLOBAL_SET 000867206 980__ $$aEBOOK 000867206 980__ $$aBIB 000867206 982__ $$aEbook 000867206 983__ $$aOnline 000867206 994__ $$a92$$bISE
