Mental Capacity, Dignity and the Power of International Human Rights
Duffy, Julia (Queensland University of Technology)
Description
Using illustrative case studies, Julia Duffy shows how the assumption that autonomy is the basis of philosophical and legal personhood fails to accommodate the human rights and healthcare needs of adults with cognitive disability. Instead, she develops a framework for understanding dignity as the key determiner of personhood for all.
