Some conferences produce proceedings, others an inspiration to
labor, which finally leads to a published work. Such has been the
case with regard to this volume. In 1984, the Center for Ethics,
Medicine, and Public Issues held a conference with the title 'When
are Competent Patients Incompetent?' with the support of the Texas
Committee for the Humanities, a state-based program of the National
Endowment for the Humanities. Assistance was provided by both
Baylor College of Medicine and the Institute of Religion. This
conference evoked a con siderable interest in examining further the
moral status of competency determinations in the clinical setting.
This interest is realized in this volume, which now affords us an
opportunity to thank all those individ uals who made the conference
possible, only some of whom are acknowledged in this Preface. In
particular, we wish to express our gratitude to Baruch A. Brody,
Rebecca Dresser, the Honorable Jerome Jones, H. Steven Moffic,
Margery W. Shaw, Eleanor Tinsley, and Albert Van HeIden. The volume
took its shape through the labors of Earl Shelp and Mary Ann
Gardell Cutter, who inspired the further evolution of the papers
presented at the conference and attracted contributions from
individuals who had not attended. Earl Shelp and Mary Ann Gardell
Cutter have produced a volume following extensive reflection and
dialogue; they were ably assisted in the final preparation of the
manu script by Thomas J. Bole III and George Khushf, to whom
special thanks are due."
