Resolving Medical Futility DisputesThaddeus Mason PopeHamline University - School of Law Donna Caseyaffiliation not provided to SSRN January 1, 2011 Delaware Nurses Association, Vol. 36, No. 2, pp. 6, 2011 Abstract: Conflicts over end-of-life treatment are common. One category of such conflict is the medical futility dispute. Typically, in a medical futility dispute the surrogate decision maker wants to continue aggressive treatment for a patient but healthcare providers determine that such treatment is inappropriate. In this article we discuss: the types of medical futility, how medical futility disputes can be prevented, and how such disputes can be resolved.
