Abstract

In discussions regarding the withholding of extraordinary medical treatment for the severely incapacitated, appeal is often made to the "quality-of-life" rather than to the "sanctity-of-life". This article explores the background to both theories and argues that the traditional "sanctity-of-life" doctrine remains viable and useful.
