Abstract: This chapter will explore three major questions: in general, what is the current state of the law on termination of treatment decisions as we begin the 1990s, what is the current law on stopping treatment in dialysis patients, and what are the unique features of stopping dialysis that make these decisions more, or less, legally problematic?
