“…Further, data suggest that approximately 5-20% of surrogates of ICU patients want clinicians to make highly value-laden choices, including decisions to limit or withdraw life-prolonging interventions (12,13). In such cases, using a clinician-directed decision-making model is ethically justifiable (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24).…”

“…Unfortunately, nurses have to constantly make decisions that have an ethical component (Loewy and Loewy, 2004). Raines (2000) in a study of 229 oncology nurses found that they experienced 32 different types of ethical dilemmas over a period of 1 year.…”

“…His detailed criticism is articulated in his 1995 Hastings Center Report article, "Abandoning Informed Consent," 12 in which he raises many of the objections that have been raised by others. [13][14][15][16] He regards the best interest standard as having "achieved the status on an unquestioned platitude," and he finds the standard to be "terribly implausible." 12 In great detail he explicates the source of ambiguity and disagreement in the determination of what is in the patient' s best interest.…”

We argue that the "best interest standard" for surrogate decisionmaking is problematic for a number of reasons. First, reliance on the best interest standard is subjective. Second, it leads to behavior that is intolerant and polarizing. Third, appeals to the best interest standard are often vague and indeterminate. After all, cases are usually controversial precisely because reasonable people disagree about what is or is not in a child' s best interest. We then recommend that, instead of the best interest standard, parents should be held to a standard that we call the "not unreasonable" standard. By that standard, parents' decisions would be respected unless they were deemed unreasonable. This recommendation would allow a greater range for parental discretion than the best interest standard.
