Buchanan write a very thought provoking book. Deciding for others is an important part of making policy, and indeed should be considered by anyone who cares for those who cannot care for themselves or make their needs/desires known.

Allen E. Buchanan & Dan W. Brock
Deciding for Others: The Ethics of Surrogate Decision Making (Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press, 1989) 422 pages This is perhaps the best and most comprehensive book on medical decision-making for pre-persons, full persons, & former persons, who might not be capable of deciding for themselves. It is especially relevant for the proxy provisions of any Advance Directive. The major themes: (1) determining competence; (2) patient-centered principles for deciding; (3) Advance Directives and continuity of personhood; (4) considering the impact on society; (5) deciding for infants and minors; (6) deciding for the elderly; (7) proxies for people with behavioral problems. This book is recommended for everyone making decisions for others. If you would like to read my reviews of other books on Advance Directives, search the Internet for this exact phrase: "Books on Advance Directives for Medical Care".
