This book fills an important gap in existing health care ethics
literature by describing an egalitarian conception of moral respect
which applies to autonomous and non-autonomous patients alike. It
reframes questions about respect, from its target to the role that
respect plays in our moral lives. Taking into account various forms
of objectification, it suggests that the unique role of moral
respect is to recognize a person as more than a mere object; to
recognize them as an equally intrinsically valuable being who
possesses dignity. Further, the book argues that respect is central
to health care because medicine and experiences of illness are both
inherently objectifying. Objectification is sometimes morally
permissible, and other times morally troubling-a context of respect
can help to distinguish between these situations. Because we can
reduce others to mere objects in ways other than violating or
denying their autonomy, the approach presented here can also
accommodate non-autonomous patients directly without considering
them as marginal cases.
