Publication ,  Journal Article
Buchanan, A; Brock, DW
Published in: The Milbank Quarterly
1986

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.
