The capacity to designate a surrogate is distinct from decisional capacity
The capacity to designate a surrogate (CDS) is not simply another kind of medical decision-making capacity (DMC). A patient with DMC can express a preference, understand information relevant to that choice, appreciate the significance of that information for their clinical condition, and reason about their choice in light of their goals and values. In contrast, a patient can possess the CDS even if they cannot appreciate their condition or reason…
Biobanks and the Moral Concerns of Donors
Do members of the public believe that biobanks should accommodate the moral concerns of donors about the types of research done with their biospecimens? The answer to this question is critical to the future of genomic and precision medicine, endeavors that rely on a public willing to share their biospecimens and medical data. To explore public attitudes regarding the requirements of consent for biobank donations, we organized three democratic del…
Competence in Plain English
Like many other bioethicists, I often give talks on clinical topics that may touch on the patient's right of autonomy with regard to medical treatment and, from there, may move to questions about whether said patient has the capacity to exercise said right. When I get to that subject, I might ask, “Is this person competent to refuse treatment?” A stunned silence falls over the room, until finally a hand shoots up. “‘Competent’ is a legal term,” I…
The moral concerns of biobank donors
Donors to biobanks are typically asked to give blanket consent, allowing their donation to be used in any research authorized by the biobank. This type of consent ignores the evidence that some donors have moral, religious, or cultural concerns about the future uses of their donations - concerns we call "non-welfare interests". The nature of non-welfare interests and their effect on willingness to donate to a biobank is not well understood.In ord…
The Author Replies
A response to commentaries by David Wendler and by Bartha M. Knoppers, Edward S. Dove, and Ma'n H. Zawati on “Respecting Donors to Biobank Research,” from the January-February 2013 issue
Respecting Donors to Biobank Research
The research importance of biobanked biological materials and their derived data is growing, especially as these are increasingly linked with individual and population‐level medical and health information. The number, diversity, and size of biobanks are growing in tandem. So, too, is the number of individuals whose donations are being used in biobank‐supported research, with or without their knowledge. Pretty soon, we all will be “participants” i…
Sars and the Duty to Treat
To the Editor: Cast into gloomy contemplation of the fact that life-extension research is likely to offer too little, too late for me (Biogerontology, 'Anti-aging Medicine,' and the Challenges of Human Enhancement; Is More Life Always Better? HCR, JulyAugust 2003), I was briefly heartened when I read Chalmers C. Clark's short essay on health professionals' duty to care for victims of SARS (In Harm's Way: Service in the Face of SARS, HCR, July-Aug…
Physician Activism and Civil Disobedience
Case Dr. Garrison is a family physician who has been practicing at a health center in a high-poverty urban neighborhood for 20 years. She finds her work at the health center challenging and often frustrating, but she thinks it is important because the community is plagued by serious health and social problems
Ethics Consultant
Futility and Hospital Policy
Hospital futility policies are ethically defensible, but they require\nthe proper understanding of futility and should be embedded in a larger\nprocess for making decisions about limiting treatment

Samaritans and Lockeans
and lower-class, who cannot afford the luxury of private health care, are denied their legal right to control their bodies. To paraphrase Orwell, we are all created equal, but some of us are more equal than others. This brief summary can in no way indicate the richness, the thoughtfulness, the importance of Condit's book. It is a tribute to her presentation that a reader cannot tell, in the end, whether she herself favors the pro-choice or prolif…
Conflict in the Balance
impact on women's experience of birth. Martin points out that women's ability to resist medical treatment during birth is also obviously affected by their race and their class. The Woman in the Body is a very different book than In Search of Parenthood. It sets an ideological context for women's experiences. It does not accept at face value the medical constructions of that experience, and it analyzes rather thanjust repeats women's quotations, s…

Surrogate Mothers and Parental Rights
Violence and the Struggle for Existence
brenner seems to take Soviet parental control of their children as involvement with them. Yet Soviet mothers have little time to spend with their children, since as many as 82 percent of Soviet between the ages of 16 sand 54 are either working or studying. (Here Bronfenbrenner provides us with an erroneous figure of percent of all age-eligible women being in the labor force (p. 9), presumably confusing it with the fact that constitute 48 percent …
