Abstract
Death and disability from violent injury is a major public health problem that disproportionately affects the young and previously healthy. Questions about how and when to provide palliative care raise ethical and other questions about the best quality of end-of-life care in people dying from injuries. This chapter explores the ethic of care and how it informs the delivery of palliative care for those injured by violence.
