Abstract
In this article, I address the role of hope in medical decision making. Against the backdrop of the so-called paradox of hope, I consider the relationship between medical futility and the preservation of hope. I build on the work of feminist bioethicists to argue that only a feminist approach to palliation may properly dissolve the paradox of hope.
