Settings involving the extremes of age and illness are the most complex in ethical deliberation and require sound principles that can be clearly applied to individual situations. This article discusses how one's view of the aging process effects clinical decision making. The basic principles of medical ethics (autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice) are discussed along with alternative ethical paradigms that may be more appropriate to the elderly population. Issues such as informed consent, do not resuscitate orders in the operating room, and controversies in end-of-life palliative care specifically impact the role of the anesthesiologist. Anesthesiologists, as medical professionals in a health care team, have a great stake in ethical decision making and the ethics of health care policy.
