Abstract
In the last 2 years in the United States, state and federal courts, legislators, and other elected officials have been involved in a national debate regarding the proper venues, standards of evidence, and presumptions to be employed when determining the wishes, values, and best interests of patients who are incapable of expressing their own views regarding their own medical care.Keywords
