Abstract
A persistent Confucian critique of Beauchamp and Childress’ principle of respect for autonomy is that the principle exalts individual autonomy and ignores family-based medical decision-making. This article defends the principle by questioning its individualistic underpinnings and arguing that it is compatible with family-based medical decision-making through specification.
Keywords:
- autonomy,
- Confucianism,
- family-based medical decision-making,
- specification
