Medical Ethics Needs a New View of Autonomy
Medical Ethics Needs a New View of Autonomy is a scholarly work by Rebecca L. Walker, published in 2008 in ''Journal of Medicine and Philosophy''. The main subjects of the publication include bioethics, sociology, nursing ethics, Personal autonomy, engineering ethics, autonomy, palliative care, Harvey Chochinov, epistemology, stock order, environmental ethics, and medical ethics. In this paper I offer a more adequate framework for how to think about autonomy, but this framework does not lend itself to the kinds of practical application assumed in medical ethics.
