D. Kuhn
During recent years the palliative care movement has rapidly extended its domain. Originated in the field of pain management for patients with terminal metastatic cancer, the model of palliative care has now also found application in the care for patients suffering from chronic diseases. To that end a new term was coined: that of non-cancer palliative care . In this book, a collection of contributions to a working conference in the Netherlands, a group of (Roman Catholic) physicians, moral philosophers, and nursing professionals explores the challenges of applying a palliative care policy to the field of care-giving in dementia. The starting point of their reflections is the observation that the traditional conception of bioethics, with its dominant orientation on autonomy and self-determination, is not easily compatible with the practice of caring for people with dementia. According to the authors, this situation can be remedied by appealing to the values of hospice philosophy and palliative care. The book is composed of six parts. A first one on the epidemiological, clinical, and societal aspects of the disease, which includes an interesting chapter on the relation between neuropathology and behavior in connection to issues such as competence and level of (in) dependence on care, is followed by an overview of palliative care as it is administered in Europe and the United States, with a fine chapter by Olde Rikkert (The Netherlands) and Rigaud (France) on hospital-based palliative care. Part three seeks to explore the philosophical and theological concerns central to Alzheimer disease, such as the questions of dignity, autonomy, and embodiment. In part four the more familiar clinical ethics issues are addressed, such as the dilemmas and pitfalls of decision making with regard to incompetent patients, end-of-life care for Alzheimer disease patients, the role of living wills, and the question of euthanasia. Part five deals with organizational ethics and allocation decisions whereas the final part explores the moral aspects of conducting scientific research in peoplewith dementia. One of the core chapters in this compilation is Ten Have’s contribution on the expanding scope of palliative care. Following Pellegrino, he differentiates between a philosophy in and a philosophy of palliative care. The former refers to the assistance ethicists can give to care givers in elucidating specific problems and in helping them to deal with moral dilemmas. The latter refers to the enrichment that the concepts and values of palliative care can provide to (a critical reflection on) bioethics. In this respect the author calls attention to the tendencywithin contemporary bioethics to neglect the human body: in its striving to secure the autonomy of the patient against medical paternalism, bioethics falls victim to the same dualistic anthropology that characterizes medicine. Palliative care and the hospice movement reject this dualism and focus on the essential embodi
