Shedinar – in conversation with Dr Tania Gergel: philosophy, capacity, presumptions and personhood

In this ‘in conversation’ with Dr Tania Gergel, we think about what philosophy can bring to thinking about mental capacity, have a chewy discussion about the (mis)use of the presumption of capacity and start getting into advance decision making and problems of personhood. For more, see www.mentalcapacitylawandpolicy.org.uk.

For more on the case from the Netherlands that Tania discusses towards the end, see this article.

Boring but necessary caveat, nothing here constitutes legal advice.
