It highlights practical challenges clinicians face in eliciting and applying patients' values, noting that the question "What would the patient want?" often leads to idealized responses that fail to inform clinical decisions. The authors advocate for a more flexible decision-making framework that accommodates various moral paradigms beyond authenticity, suggesting that this shift could better align with the complexities of patients' identities and values. Ultimately, they call for healthcare systems to adapt to support this pluralistic approach in surrogate decision-making. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: commentary Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
