Author

Ravitsky, Vardit

Subjects
*MEDICAL ethics, *MEDICAL practice, *BIOETHICS, *AUTONOMY (Psychology), *LEGAL status of patients
Abstract

In this article the author presents his views on an article which discussed few ethical and legal assumptions that are currently accepted as basic principles in Western medicine and bioethics, particularly on patient autonomy and the right to refuse medical interventions. This commentary will highlight the significant cultural gap between the point of departure for expanding the scope of patients' rights and the end of life, and the recent Israeli experience in the same field.
