TY - JOUR T1 - The Patient preference predictor and the objection from higher-order preferences JF - Journal of Medical Ethics JO - J Med Ethics SP - 221 LP - 222 DO - 10.1136/jme-2022-108427 VL - 49 IS - 3 AU - Jakob Thrane Mainz Y1 - 2023/03/01 UR - http://jme.bmj.com/content/49/3/221.abstract N2 - Recently, Jardas et al have convincingly defended the patient preference predictor (PPP) against a range of autonomy-based objections. 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 ‘objection from higher-order preferences’. 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. ER -
