Abstract

he freedom of movement granted by the European Treaties to Europe’s citizens can only be a reality if those citizens know that they will receive high-quality, appropriate care if they fall ill when abroad. And those responsible for delivering health care may want to take advantage of the opportunities created by the European Union, sharing capacity in sparsely populated border areas or ensuring access to highly-specialized care for people living on small islands.The Europe for Patients project, financially supported by the European Union’s Sixth Framework Programme for Research, is seeking to understand how the opportunities offered by the European Union can be maximized, and how any potential problems can be overcome. This collection of case studies provides a wealth of experience of collaborating across borders in all parts of Europe.

Abstract

This book is the most comprehensive treatment available of one of the most urgent - and yet in some respects most neglected - problems in bioethics: decision-making for incompetents. Part I develops a general theory for making treatment and care decisions for patients who are not competent to decide for themselves. It provides an in-depth analysis of competence, articulates and defends a coherent set of principles to specify suitable surrogate decisionmakers and to guide their choices, examines the value of advance directives, and investigates the role that considerations of cost ought to play in decisions concerning incompetents. Part II applies this theoretical framework to the distinctive problems of three important classes of individuals, many of whom are incompetent: minors, the elderly and psychiatric patients. The authors' approach combines a probing analysis of fundamental issues in ethical theory with a sensitive awareness of the concrete realities of health care institutions and the highly personal and individual character of difficult practical problems. Its broad scope will appeal to health professionals, moral philosophers and lawyers alike.
