Broadening The Boundaries of Palliative Medicine -- Total Pain Management and Adjusted Care: An Evolving Ideal -- Medical Futility: The Template for Decision-making -- Reconstructing The Principle of Double Effect -- Physician Assistance at Death or Euthanasia? -- Shaping a Compassionate Response to End-Stage Illness -- Toward a Good Death: A Socio-Legal, Ethical, and Medical Challenge.

George P. Smith's Palliative Care and End-of-Life Decisions completes a Bioethics-Health Care epistemology begun in 1989, which addresses the specific issue of managing palliative care at the end-stage of life. Smith argues forcefully that in order to palliate the whole person (encompassing physical and psychological states), an ethic of adjusted care requires recognition of a fundamental right to avoid cruel and unusual suffering from terminal illness. Specifically, this book urges wider consideration and use of terminal sedation as efficacious medical care and as a reasonable procedure in order to safeguard a 'right' to a dignified death. The principle of medical futility is seen as a proper construct for implementing this process. The state legislative responses of California, Vermont, and Washington in enacting Death with Dignity legislation - allowing those with end-stage terminal illness to receive pharmacological assistance in ending their own lives - is held by Smith to be not only commendable, but the proper response for enlightened state action.
