3 professors at the prestigious Stanford University Center for Ethics in Society share differing thoughts on respecting the autonomy of people with dementia, whether it is better or worse to lie to them, and whether the act of lying may cause one to be less honest, more frequently.
Professsors? (choke) ok to lie? The persons reality is destroyed by the desease! Give me a break!
ReplyDeleteYou are right. The title of the video has been changed. Thanks for your feedback.
