Risk-related standard inevitable in assessing competence
Bioethics.
1991 Apr.
Abstract
KIE: In a preceding article, Mark Wicclair suggested that where patient preferences clash with the doctor's recommendations, a minimal understanding of the task at hand, rather than the risks involved, should be the basis for standards of patient competence in decision-making (Bioethics 5(2):91-104, April 1991). Skene, Principal Law Reform Officer of the Victoria, Australia, Law Reform Commission, questions Wicclair's minimum standard from a legal standpoint, pointing out contradictions in the effects of such a standard. Skene concludes that legal protection and the education of both doctors and patients are the most suitable safeguards of patient autonomy.
