The current phase of human supervision is clearly a short-term and temporary step on the way to full autonomy. The safety driver is just there for the first few months to be extra safe. Should be no safety driver by end of year. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) September 4, 2025 A Few Months of Caution Elon’s statement clarified that the presence of a human in the car is a

Balancing Employee Autonomy with Providing Guidance

Aim This review aims to develop an evidence-based, structural model of autonomy of patients at the end of life by analyzing end-of-life care preferences related to autonomy, as expressed by the patients themselves in available literature. When family members disagree with a patient about care planning, the physician might be able to facilitate a resolution. Taking Advance Directives Seriously: Prospective Autonomy And Decisions Near The End Of Life : Olick, Robert S.: Amazon.de: BücherIn the quarter century since the landmark Karen Ann Quinlan case, an ethical, legal, and societal consensus supporting patients‘ rights to refuse life-sustaining treatment has become a cornerstone of bioethics. Patients now legally can write

Autonomy and the terminally ill patient

In some respects autonomy of the will is the pivotal feature of Kant’s entire moral philosophy. Apart from it, in one sense or another, there could be no reality to and no way of conceiving a good will, moral duty, the categorical imperative, humanity as an end in itself, the kingdom of ends, and human freedom – all of which, Kant holds, are indispensable facets of morality itself What distinguishes autonomy-undermining influences on a person’s decision, intention, or will from those motivating forces that merely play a role in the self-governing process? This is the question that all accounts of autonomy try to answer. As the number and variety of these accounts indicate, the distinction is extremely elusive. Background: The increasing number of elderly people in nursing homes with failing competence to give consent represents a great challenge to healthcare staff’s protection of patient autonomy in the issues of life-prolonging treatment, hydration, nutrition and hospitalisation. The lack of national guidelines and internal routines can threaten the protection of patient autonomy. Objectives: To

Thus, decisions made at the end of life may not accord with people’s val-ues, preferences, and interests. Paradoxically, therefore, the cur-rent defaults in end-of-life law may impede, rather than promote, autonomy. Have you ever wondered why having more choices sometimes makes you feel less satisfied? Or why you feel happier when you have a sense of control over what you buy? In this article, you will discover why autonomy and control matter so much in customer decision making. By the time you finish reading, you’ll know how these factors shape consumer choices, If caregivers and relatives embrace autonomy as a relational construct, attained through an open, active and reflective attitude, and have more access to knowledge about communication and how to identify end-of-life care needs, this could lead to improved respect for

the elderly’s autonomy must be ensured in care planning, based on patient-centered communication and developed in the interaction among agents involved in care. The discussion on „Living Wills“ Health Care Directives and

As healthcare continues to evolve, the importance of autonomy has grown, influencing everything from daily patient care to complex end-of-life decisions. Exploring autonomy in healthcare involves examining several key areas. Kant’s most influential positions in moral philosophy are found in The Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals (hereafter, “ Groundwork ”) but he developed, enriched, and in some cases modified those views in later works such as The Critique of Practical Reason, The Metaphysics of Morals, Anthropology from a Pragmatic Point of View, Religion within the

However, where there is a duty to treat by the physician, there is a right by the patient to choose to be treated and an expectation in law and in ethics that it will be given. A terminal illness in itself does not affect autonomy or the right to choose. The patient at the end of life has no fewer rights than a

Decision making is a step-wise process which ends in a concerted action focusing further procedures based on the “jointly supported” or “borne autonomy”. This kind of autonomy stands against uncertainty and provides end-of-life decisions which enable autonomy and quality of life for the patient and his/her relatives. Abstract Home parenteral nutrition (HPN) is a life-sustaining therapy traditionally used as a bridge to enteral autonomy or intestinal transplantation. Increasingly, it is used for intractable feeding intolerance (IFI), which can occur near the end of life (EOL) in children with severe neurological impairment (SNI). Patient autonomy is argued to have a ‘pivotal role’ in end-of-life decision making: “permitting people the opportunity to decide the timing and circumstances of their own demise if that is what they wish” (Biggs 2001, 96).

Respect for patient autonomy is paramount in resolving ethical tensions in end-of-life care. The concept of relational autonomy has contributed to this debate; however, scholars often use this concept in a fragmented manner. This leads to partial answers on ascertaining patients’ true wishes, meaningfully engaging patients’ significant others, balancing interests

The end of the imperialism of free trade: The eclipse of the Lancashire lobby and the concession of fiscal autonomy to India Within bioethics, Kant’s conception of autonomy is often portrayed as excessively rationalistic, abstract, and individualistic, and, therefore, far removed from the reality of patients’ needs. Drawing on recent contribu-tions in Kantian philosophy, we argue that specific features of Kantian autonomy remain relevant for medical ethics and for patient experience. We use contemporary

According to the intrinsic view, despite the unfavourability of the choices made, autonomy has to be respected.7 In this instance autonomy did not result in any value add, but loss. It could therefore be argued from a position of instrumental value that social recognition, aesthetics and looks were intended ends of ethicS < 419 the process. Debates on assisted dying remain controversial and call out for conceptual clarification. What is the moral basis for assessing competing arguments, and what is the best way to frame these arguments in terms of actual and potential human rights? This article aims to investigate whether autonomy alone suffices as a moral source for human rights and whether, Yet, it is unclear how to engineer moral autonomy into artificial agents, not to mention what to do if we do. In the meantime, machine ethicists employ two notions of autonomy, one for natural and one for artificial agents, one for human beings and the other for the various means to distinctly human ends springing from the engineer’s work-bench.

How does Ebenstein’s interpretation of Machiavelli—viewing power as an end in itself and analyzing the means of its acquisition, retention, and expansion apart from morality, ethics, religion, and metaphysics—reshape our understanding of the autonomy of political power and the foundations of modern political realism?

Since its classic Enlightenment formulation by Immanuel Kant, the notion of autonomy has undergone a sustained and diverse series of attacks. From Sigmund Freud and Edward Bernays to B. F. Skinner’s behaviourism, from the postmodern thinkers of the late twentieth century to more recent developments in feminism, posthumanism, actor network theory, critical animal Respect for autonomy is a paramount principle in end-of-life ethics. Nevertheless, empirical studies show that decision-making, exclusively focused on the individual exercise of autonomy fails to align well with patients’ preferences at the end of The end of Cruise is the beginning of a risky new phase for autonomous vehicles Robotaxis are a money loser.

Summary Respecting the patient’s autonomy and decision-making capacity is paramount in end-of-life care. Medical professionals must uphold ethical standards such as beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice when making end-of-life care decisions. On the other end of the scale of hard paternalism is consumerism, a rare and extreme form of patient autonomy, that holds the view that the physician’s role is limited to providing all the medical information and the available choices for interventions and treatments while the fully informed patient selects from the available choices. This chapter argues that one of the longest-surviving forms of local, indirect administration that actually predated the Ottomans were the Kurdish emirates. In most parts of the empire, the Ottomans, like the European governments, for example, relied on a system of indirect rule whereby the local magnates recognized the ruler’s suzerainty.
