peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1autonomy and advance directives Explanation: The first concept is referred to simply as "autonomy." Depending on context, one may express the concept as "the principle of autonomy," to distinguish it from the other bio-ethics principles, such as justice, beneficence, nonmaleficence, etc. The second concept is called "advance directives." This is a generic term for a variety of documents, such "medical power of attorney" (which gives another person the authority to make decisions on behalf of the patient in case the patient becomes unable to do so) and "living will" or "Directive to Physicians" (which specifies patient's preferences regarding medical interventions). I was a member of the Clinical Ethics committee at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas, from September 1997 to August 2001. Fuad |

peer agreement (net): +1Patients' Rights/Patient Autonomy, Living Will/Healthcare Advance Directive Explanation: Here are a couple of suggestions. I've had some personal but not professional involvement in the issue. http://www.press.uillinois.edu/s99/levi.html patient autonomy http://www.patients-rights.org/ patients’ rights http://www.ama-assn.org/public/booklets/livgwill.htm What Is A Health Care Advance Directive? A health care advance directive is a document in which you give instructions about your health care if, in the future, you cannot speak for yourself. You can give someone you name (your "agent" or "proxy") the power to make health care decisions for you. You also can give instructions about the kind of health care you do or do not want. In a traditional Living Will, you state your wishes about life-sustaining medical treatments if you are terminally ill. In a Health Care Power of Attorney, you appoint someone else to make medical treatment decisions for you if you cannot make them for yourself. The Health Care Advance Directive in this booklet combines and expands the traditional Living Will and Health Care Power of Attorney into a single, comprehensive document. In both cases, I feel the first option are the more vernacular rendering (I prefer them) but, it's more likely that the second option is more fitting to your context. I can't say I'm 100% certain here, but I hope they help. (P.S. You've been getting some interesting translations recently!) |

[Living] Will Explanation: 'Voluntades anticipadas' es la traducción al español de "will", un documento diferente al "informed consent", en el cual el paciente expresa qué querría que le hicieran / qué querría evitar durante su cuidado médico. Este documento se llama simplemente "will", o también "Living will", para diferenciarlo del testamento o última voluntad. Suerte Elena |
