Question

Scott Starson case: presented at start of Chapter 3, Collier and Haliburton, page 63-64 of text. This landmark case demonstrates that there is disagreement about what is means to respect autonomy, what is capacity, when is a decision is informed.

The case requires examination of what it means to lack capacity and the duties of a substitute decision-maker.

In the event that he was found to lack capacity, who would be his substitute decision maker? Given he said he never wanted to receive psychotropic medications (his stated wishes) and the need for psychotic medication (in his best interests) what decision should be made?
