Respect for Autonomy. The word autonomy comes from the Greek autos-nomos meaning “self-rule” or “self-determination”. According to Kantian ethics, autonomy is based on the human capacity to direct one’s life according to rational principles. He states, “Everything in nature works in accordance with laws. Only a rational being has the capacity to act in accordance with the representation of laws, that is, in accordance with principles, or has a will. Since reason is required for the derivation of actions from laws, the will is nothing other than practical reason.” (In Korsgaard, 2004) Rationality, in Xxxx’x view, is the means to autonomy. Autonomous people are considered as being ends in themselves in that they have the capacity to determine their own destiny, and as such must be respected.

Nevertheless, Xxxx believed that it was acceptable to prevent people from harming themselves provided that their action was not fully informed. Nowadays, an autonomous decision might be described as one that is made freely/without undue influence, by a competent person, in full knowledge and understanding of the relevant information necessary to make such a decision. It should also be applicable to the current situation or circumstances. Many people see dementia as a humiliating disease involving a deterioration of mental power, the loss of one’s former personality and identity and eventually becoming a burden to others. Many dread the prospect of being deprived of the chance to decide their own fate and thus exercise their right to self- determination. Fears linked to this perception of dementia may include the fear of under-treatment (on the grou...
