Abstract
In our previous chapters we described autonomy behaviors as characteristics of identity in the rich complex of daily life. We also compared decision making in normal situations and in exceptional health care situations. Regarding the latter, we focused on circumstances in which restrictions were imposed by the patient’s condition and the medical/professional environment.
