In Artificial Nutrition and Hydration at the End of Life, HFA takes a look at what is known about the benefits and burdens of ANH. We've selected short excerpts from three HFA interviews that are part of this fall's New Perspectives program. First, Joan Teno, MD, discusses her cutting edge research around ANH and advanced dementia; a daughter speaks of the emotional toll of ANH-related decisions, and a 38-year-old ALS patient discusses what ANH does for her at this stage of her condition. To hear these interviews in their entirety, and to find out how our expert panel reacts to them, as well as to hear the panel's discussion of other important issues such as medical considerations, ethics, religion, the law, communication, and family dynamics, register here.
