Tales Publicly Allowed: Competence, Capacity, and Religious Belief
Hastings Center Report 37 (1):33-40 (2007)
Abstract
What should we make of someone whose beliefs prevent her from accurately understanding her medical needs and care? Should that person still make her own health care decisions? In fact, she probably lacks decision‐making capacity. But that does not mean she is not competent.Author's Profile
