The Relational Potential Standard: Rethinking the Ethical Justification for Life‐Sustaining Treatment for Children with Profound Cognitive Disabilities
Hastings Center Report 49 (3):18-25 (2019)
Abstract
Caregivers should usually accede to parents’ requests for life-sustaining treatment. For such decision-making, the best interests standard is too limited. John Arras’s “relational potential standard,” con-joined to a contemporary care ethics framework, provides a better guide.Author's Profile
