Abstract
This attempt to glean lessons for bioethics from family law has yielded no determinate answers or easy principles. I have suggested that family law has recently struggled to avoid the standards problems. Yet I have argued that each method of doing so is itself importantly flawed and sharply limited. I must confess that, if anything, this survey has been too pessimistic, that it has looked more assiduously for the drawbacks than the benefits of each approach. I should also say that my survey has confined itself to examining broad approaches, rather than seeking the surely valuable lessons to be learned from family law's concrete, commonlaw resolutions of particular fact-patterns.
