- Abstract
The article "Ethical Dilemmas: The Dark Side of Medical Progress" published in Pediatric Annals in 1988 discusses the challenges that have arisen with the success of treating cancer in children. Issues such as the abundance of treatment options, conflicts between clinical research and patient care, and the ethical implications of withholding lifesaving treatment are explored. The article also addresses concerns about the overwhelming amount of information provided by modern technology and the difficulties in obtaining informed consent from families.
