abstract="In this ethics legal column, we explore the concept of futility in rehabilitation. The word futility is a highly contested concept. Its definition, application, and implications have been a source of debate in the ethics literature for decades. In a classic article in 1992, Truog, Brett and Frader (also an author of this column) highlighted &quot;The Problem with Futility&quot;<sup>1</sup> and about two decades ago, Helft, Siegler and Lantos spoke to &quot;The Rise and Fall of the Futility Movement.&quot;<sup>2</sup>.<br><br>This article is protected by copyright.
