VALUES |
||||
| Candidate Value |
Acceptability (Yes/ No/?) |
Relevance (Yes/ No/?) |
Importance (1-5) |
Overall Weightiness (1-5) |
|
Stopping my mother's deteriorating psychological faculties
|
Yes
|
Yes
|
3
(important but these faculties likely to be diminishing anyway given mother's
medical condition. Also emotional health - how she feels about herself - more important than what faculties she actually has) |
3
|
|
Protecting my mother's emotional health in general (not
just depression from being in hospital), including such things as the
fear and disorientation that might come from staying at home
|
Yes
|
Yes
|
5
(very important that my mother's remaining time is as happy and satisfying
as possible) |
5
|
|
My mother getting what she wants (in general, not just
in avoiding hospital as she might have changed her mind about what she
wants)
|
?
(some doubt over this as mother lacks full lucidity - how can she know about
parts of her life which are not lucid - and furthermore she might choose
an option, such as wishing to stay at home even after the chronic care place
becomes available- which severely and negatively affects my life) |
Yes
|
4
(Important moral principle that people have control over their own lives)
|
3
|
|
Satisfying my desire to broach the issue of permanent
chronic care at home
|
No
(I'm not the best person to do this) |
-
|
-
|
-
|
|
Protecting my mother's medical welfare.
|
Yes
|
Yes
|
5
(whether my mother lives or dies, and the quality of her medical health
is obviously very important) |
5
|
|
My life not being severely and negatively affected
|
Yes
|
Yes
|
5
(I am an important party in this problem so my interests should take equal weight with my mother's) |
5
|
|
My life not being mildly and negatively affected
|
Yes
|
Yes
|
1
(While my life not being severely and negatively affected is important minor
inconvenience to me is not) |
1
|
|
My feeling that I've done all I reasonably can
|
Yes
|
Yes
|
2
(this is not of great importance - while feelings that I've done all I reasonably
can matters a little, what is more important is actually doing what I reasonably
can) |
