摘要

能力通常与患者自主权的行使有关，最近上诉法院在Thirumalesh Chellamal Hemachandran和Another v Sudiksha Thirumalesh（已故）（由她的诉讼朋友，官方律师）和其他人（[2024]EWCA Civ 896）中再次考虑了这一问题。本文回顾了这一情况，并在能力和病人自主两个相关的关键主题的光评论。本文的结论是，只有有能力的患者才能行使患者自主权，因为缺乏能力的患者无法对自己的医疗做出决定。

Capacity and the exercise of patient autonomy.

Capacity, often linked with the exercise of patient autonomy, was considered again recently by the Court of Appeal in Thirumalesh Chellamal Hemachandran and Another v Sudiksha Thirumalesh (Deceased) (By her litigation friend, The Official Solicitor) and Others ([2024] EWCA Civ 896). This paper reviews that case and comments on it in the light of the two related key themes of capacity and patient autonomy. The paper concludes that only patients with capacity can exercise patient autonomy because a patient who lacks capacity cannot make a decision regarding their medical treatment.
