Ethics and health services: the debate continues.
As technological options continue to proliferate, so do questions about choice of treatment. The author reviews some of the values and priorities on which decisions can be based. Since these are matters that affect societies as a whole, they must be fully and openly discussed, with the active participation of all concerned, including the public for whom the health services exist.
