Abstrakt: Abstract Three clinical cases of very ill neonates exemplifying extreme ethical situations for nurses are interpreted through Arendt's concepts of life and natality, and Agamben's critique of bare life. Agamben's notions of form-of-life, as the inseparability of zoe/bios , and testimony are offered as the potential foundation of nursing ethics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
