Advances in technology and treatment have resulted in a growing population of very old and very young people whose lives are technology dependent. These people are being cared for in increasing numbers in their homes by care-givers inadequately trained for the task. The unintended negative consequences and the positive effects of such care are examined, and ethical concerns are raised.
技术和治疗方面的进步使得越来越多的老年人和年轻人的生活依赖于技术。这些人在家中接受照顾的数量越来越多,而照顾他们的护理人员并未接受过充分的相关培训。本文探讨了这种护理产生的意外负面后果和积极影响,并提出了伦理方面的担忧。
