The twins: a case study in ethical deliberation.
A case study of an ethical dilemma concerning twin nine-year-old sisters in a persistent vegetative state is presented. This is illustrated by the use of a systematic ethical framework to examine the case and the resolution, which was ultimately obtained with nurse-parent interrelations, using the human becoming nursing theory.
