Introduction

The March 2002 issue of Seminars was devoted to bioethics. As indicated by Dr. Shevell at that time, “ethics concerns itself with doing the “right thing””.1 And yet, identifying the “right thing” or the “right course of action” can, in many instances, be challenging if nothing else because morality is constantly evolving. This issue is especially germane to pediatrics for at least two reasons: a- patients are directly impacted by decisions made by adults, and b- by the nature of the discipline, we deal with a population that spans birth to adulthood.
