Abstract
This paper explores the implications for palliative care practitioners of the pre-eminence of autonomy as an ethical principle in contemporary health care ethics. It is suggested that some of the consequences of respecting patient autonomy might be unacceptable to carers, particularly when they feel their own autonomy might be compromised or their ethical values threatened.
