This talk discusses the use of aggressive treatment and the lack of anesthesia and analgesia that made many NICUs a fraught ethical place in the 1970s through the 1990s. It analyzes the moral distress felt by clinicians and parents about the care neonates were receiving and describes the parent-initiated reform movements that led to changes in NICU care by the turn of the 21st century.
