      abstract = {This book examines the ethics of end of life care,  focusing on the kinds of decisions that are commonly made  in clinical practice. Specific attention is paid to the  intensification of treatment for terminal symptoms,  particularly pain relief, and the withdrawal and  withholding of care, particularly life-saving or  life-prolonging medical care. The book is structured into  three sections. The first section contains essays examining  end of life care from the perspective of moral theory and  theology. The second sets out various conceptual terms and  distinctions relevant to decision-making at the end of  life. The third section contains chapters that focus on  substantive ethical issues. This format not only provides  for a comprehensive analysis of the ethical issues that  arise in the context of end of life care but allows readers  to effectively trace the philosophical, theological and  conceptual underpinnings that inform their specific  interests. This work will be of interest to scholars  working in the area as well as clinicians, specialists and  healthcare professionals who encounter these issues in the  course of their practice.},
