  • Title: Autonomy, authenticity, or best interest: everyday decision-making and persons with dementia.
    Author: Holm S.
    Journal: Med Health Care Philos; 2001; 4(2):153-9. PubMed ID: 11547501.
    Abstract:
    The question of when we have justification for overriding ordinary, everyday decisions of persons with dementia is considered. It is argued that no single criterion for competent decision-making is able to distinguish reliably between decisions we can legitimately override and decisions we cannot legitimately override.
