The debate on Ulysses arrangements has predominantly been waged in terms of autonomy conceived of as the right to non-intervention. On the basis of our empirical investigations into the experiences of persons directly involved with Ulysses arrangements, we argue that a care ethics perspective may broaden and deepen the debate on Ulysses arrangements, by introducing additional concepts, such as vulnerability, responsibility and mutuality, and by refining familiar concepts, such as autonomy.}, issn = {0306-6800}, URL = {https://jme.bmj.com/content/34/2/77}, eprint = {https://jme.bmj.com/content/34/2/77.full.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Medical Ethics} }
