N2  - Advanced technology has enhanced our ability to diagnose and treat critically ill patients, thereby assisting in prolonging life for many. However, its high cost has been prohibitive, and it may impose more burdens than benefits on some patients. Although technological advances have accelerated social change, many have also fuelled legal and ethical concerns. Consequently, the rationale for the use of advanced technology in the care of critically ill patients should be clear and ethically justified.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
