The Wisdom model uses the Old Testament wisdom literature as a framework for decision making to address key moral and existential issues when caring for people facing intractable suffering or incurable disability. The Wisdom Model provides a viable and rational alternative to the Contractual Model that is gaining popularity in our culture and is based on an ethic of radical individualism, which plays into our cutlure's demand for autonomy and self-determination, at the expense letters of true community. The Contractual letters Model leads to two responses that appear to be letters opposite sides of the same self-determination coin. The first response is the demand for assisted suicide from those facing intractable suffering. The second response is the demand for the use of every medical treatment available to prolong life in what appears to be a medically futile situation.
