Practical Autonomy and Bioethics

By James Stacey Taylor and St Taylor James

Book Overview

This book develops a unique account of autonomy in which its attribution to agents is dependent in part on their relationships with others and not merely upon their mental states. This is then applied to bioethical issues-e.g., informed consent and patient confidentiality-in which autonomy plays a central role.
