Description

Surrogate decision making is a key component in the hierarchy of medical decisions, whereby an assigned individual makes choices on behalf of a patient incapable of making the decision themselves. Although this is common in healthcare, there are still many questions about best surrogate practices and ethical credibility. This capstone project aspires to map these concepts and discuss issues related to the current landscape of surrogate decision making with regards to medical ethics through the use of a systematic literature review.
