无效治疗选择中的经济与伦理学思考

对临床治疗而言，医学的目的就是为了使患病的机体和心理得以康复，减轻患者痛苦，提高生命质量。所有关注患者的病患体验和对病患内涵的理解在临床诊疗上是必不可少的。而对病患病意义的理解不应只局限在医学的治疗中，而且也应对患者及家属的经济承受能力和伦理价值观给予同等关注。对无效治疗的探讨，从一个侧面体现了这一关注的现实意义。

Economic and ethic reflection on the options of invalid treatment

To clinical treatment, the aim of medicine is to rehabilitate both physical and mental health of the patient, to relieve the sufferings of the patient, and to improve quality of life of the patient. So it is necessary to concern the feeling of illness and to understand the content of illness in clinical diagnosis and treatment. To understand illness, we should concern not only medical treatment, but also the economic endurance and ethic value outlook of patients and their relatives. Discussion on invalid treatment reflects the realistic significance of this kind of concern from one aspect.
