Choosing Life, Choosing Death: The Tyranny of Autonomy in Medical Ethics and Law
Times Higher Education (2009)
Abstract
Since the 1960s we have moved rapidly from a “doctor-knows-best” society which in which medical paternalism -- such as withholding information from patients “for their benefit” -- was common, towards a society which celebrates patients’ rights to make informed decisions about their care. In Choosing Life, Choosing Death, Charles Foster mounts a polemic against the current enthusiasm for respect for autonomy in medical ethics and lawAuthor's Profile
