Abstract

This chapter discusses advance decisions to refuse medical treatment (hereafter ‘advance decisions’) and a specific challenge to their legitimacy that has been made based on certain conceptions of personhood. I argue that the alternative conceptions of personhood on which these challenges are based are incompatible with the democratically mandated end of the legal recognition of advance decisions.
