In case 18-2 a woman is in a hospital with severe diseases along with dementia so she is no longer competent to make decisions for herself. But she has a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care (DPAHC) naming her daughter as an agent. A few years later she made out another one naming her daughter again but expressing her wishes not to have CPR or a feeding tube inserted. The hospital has not inserted a feeding tube as a result even though she has aspirated her food and suffered pneumonia as a result. Now the daughter wants a feeding tube inserted. What takes precedence here? Do the daughter’s instructions take precedence over the expressed wishes of the patient? What moral theory would you use to decide this dilemma? Or what moral principles would you use? What moral theories or principles would you appeal to?
