  • Title: Deciding for others.
    Author: Buchanan A, Brock DW.
    Journal: Milbank Q; 1986; 64(Suppl. 2):17-94. PubMed ID: 11649884.
    Abstract:
    Decision making for incompetent elderly people is an increasingly serious issue for American society. The decision-making processes we choose will reflect choices among a number of ethical principles--those specifying the purpose of substituted judgment, those guiding the surrogate decision maker, and those used in choosing the surrogate--and depends as well on the way we construe the concept of decision-making competence.
