Response to “The Rise and Fall of Death: The Plateau of Futility” by Lawrence J. Schneiderman, Holly Teetzel, and Todd Gilmer (CQ Vol 12, No 3): Correcting False Impressions

| Summary: | Schneiderman, Teetzel, and Gilmer offer an amusing but misleading response to my article on medical futility (CQ Vol 11, No 2). Although I did make note of the falloff in citations to medical futility in Medline and Bioethicsline after 1995, my analysis focused on the precipitous rise in professional publications on the concept in the period from 1988 to 1995—a trend confirmed by the authors' own search results. I certainly did not argue, either explicitly or implicitly, that the discussion of medical futility was over. I made limited use of this citation survey—to raise a question about what sparked so much professional debate after 1988. This seems to me an entirely appropriate methodology. |
