In this response, I propose a new autonomy-based objection to the PPP that is not explicitly discussed by Jardas et al. I call it the {\textquoteleft}objection from higher-order preferences{\textquoteright}. Even if this objection is not sufficient reason to reject the PPP, the objection constitutes a pro tanto reason that is at least as powerful as the ones discussed by Jardas et al.}, issn = {0306-6800}, URL = {https://jme.bmj.com/content/early/2022/07/01/jme-2022-108427}, eprint = {https://jme.bmj.com/content/early/2022/07/01/jme-2022-108427.full.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Medical Ethics} }
