This talk, based on 22 years of ethics consultation and teaching of medical residents in an ICU, will address problems and possibilities, focusing on actual cases, for all who must struggle in critical clinical situations.

He is Emeritus Professor of Interdisciplinary Studies and Research Fellow, Scripps Gerontology Center, Miami University [OH].
