This paper is a response to a paper by John Coggon 'Best Interests, Public Interest, and the Power of the Medical Profession'. It argues that certain legal judgements in relation to best interests seek to change and curtail the role of the medical profession in this arena while simultaneously extending the jurisdiction of the courts. It also argues that we must guard against replacing one professional standard, that of the medical profession, with another, that of the judiciary in this area.
本文是对约翰·科根所著论文《最佳利益、公共利益与医学专业的权力》的回应。该文认为,某些与最佳利益相关的法律判决试图改变并缩减医学专业在这一领域的作用,同时扩大法院的管辖权。它还认为,我们必须谨防在这一领域用司法标准取代医学专业的标准。
