Too Expensive to Treat?: Finitude, Tragedy, and the Neonatal ICU (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780802865298)

In Too Expensive to Treat? Charles Camosy takes readers deep into the emotionally charged and expensive world of the neonatal intensive care unit to examine the hard truth about heath care rationing in the United States. While fully affirming the human worth of even the tiniest baby, Camosy maintains that all people have equal dignity and should have an equal right to a proportionate share of community health care resources. Readers may find Camosy's arguments provocative, even troubling -- but the conversation he draws them into is one that cannot be ignored.
