<br/><br/> "The nature of the care that dying patients and their families and loved ones receive is fundamentally a question of values and ends, not of technical details and means. It is fundamentally a statement about who we are as a nation and as a community, for our moral identity is nowhere better tested and tempered than in the respect and care we show to those in the twilight of life." (HASTINGS CENTER REPORT) This article defines hospice care, provides a history of end-of-life caregiving in the U.S. and examines the values involved in providing care to the dying.
