   Abstract:
   Decision making for incompetent elderly people is an increasingly serious issue for American society. The decision-making processes we choose will reflect choices among a number of ethical principles-those specifying the purpose of substituted judgment, those guiding the surrogate decision maker, and those used in choosing the surrogate-and depends as well on the way we construe the concept of decision-making competence.
