The case of Mr. Martinez: ethical conflicts in home care.
Mr. Martinez recently was accepted into the Valley Hospice Program with a diagnosis of end-stage lung cancer. He currently lives with his daughter, Amelia, after moving from Puerto Rico 2 years ago after his wife died. His two sons and another daughter live within 20 minutes of Amelia's home. They are a close-knit family, and the children are committed to honoring Martinez' wishes to die in his room in Amelia's home.
