Abstract

Reply to S. Sommerlatte et alWe thank Sommerlatte et al 1 for their comments on our article on clinical decision making for older adults with cancer. 2 In particular, the authors focus on ethical concerns, expanding on two points inherent in our framework for decision making: (1) a concern about assigning decisional capacity prematurely and (2) the distinction between assistance with and substitution for capacity. 1 We are pleased by the degree of agreement between our views, and we believe our framework can accommodate the expressed concerns.
