Case Study: End-of-Life Care for a Minor
Timothy Collins, a vibrant 16-year-old high school junior known for his passion for music and
soccer, has been battling an aggressive form of leukemia for two years. Despite the initial hope
and a brief period of remission, recent tests have shown that the leukemia cells have multiplied
aggressively. The prognosis is grim.
After enduring multiple rounds of chemotherapy, bone marrow transplants, and countless
hospital stays, Timothy, weary from the side effects and the emotional toll of the disease,
expresses a wish to his primary oncologist, Dr. Angela Foster, to discontinue his treatments. He
has been researching and wishes to enter hospice care, hoping to spend his remaining time in
the comfort of his home, surrounded by his loved ones.
His parents, Mr. Robert Collins, a bank manager, and Mrs. Lydia Collins, a schoolteacher, are
devastated by Timothy’s decision. They have been tirelessly researching and believe that a new
experimental treatment overseas might offer a glimmer of hope. They cannot fathom giving up
and want to explore every possible avenue to save their only child.
Dr. Angela Foster, a seasoned oncologist with over 20 years of experience, finds herself in one
of the most challenging situations of her career. She deeply respects Timothy’s maturity and his
right to have a say in his care. However, she also understands the desperation and pain of the
Collins family. The principles of beneficence and autonomy are at odds in this situation. While
she wants to act in the best interest of Timothy, she also recognizes the rights of the parents
and their wishes for their minor son.
