Analyzing Dax's Case

I think that the respect of patient's autonomy in today's policy and values is sufficient enough. In Dax's case, there were less respect of patient's autonomy relative to today's world where people say "do what you do" is more common and more respected. I think that there will always be a clash between family members, doctors, and the patients themselves. I, a person who has an Asian background, probably had the typical problem with dying family, specifically my grandfather. My grandfather was in hospital for months and the hospital bill just keeps mounting. So, my grandfather decided to go home and just take the necessary medications until he died soon after he got out of the hospital. But, my grandmother and mother did not want him to go
home and just take the medicine, they wanted him to stay in the hospital with the hope of getting better and probably live a bit longer.

If we do need to promote autonomy of patients, such as Dax's case, we should promote the education of biomedical ethics. With the diversity that the United States have today, there need to be a general knowledge about the policy and values that the hospital has so that there is more respectful conversation between the patient and family members with the healthcare provider in hand.
