| Resumo: | Respect for persons protects patients regarding their own healthcare decisions. Patient informed choice for altruism (PICA) is a proposed means for a fully autonomous patient with decisionmaking capacity to limit his or her own treatment for altruistic reasons.

The proxy, family, and physicians must be reminded that a patient’s altruistic treatment refusal should be respected. |
