| dc.description.abstract | Being a surrogate decision-maker is challenging for many
people and having to decide to withdraw life sustaining therapies
can be extremely difficult. Helping surrogates to refocus their
decisions on informed non-dissent can greatly minimize
unnecessary suffering for all involved. This case study describes
how dignitary harm was minimized by using the concept of
informed non-dissent. | en_US |
