The ethical implication of the extended mind thesis for advance directives and proxy decision making
"What one believes about the mind has implications for what one believes about ethics. In this dissertation I consider the plausibility of the extended mind thesis and what the consequences of this theory are for the implementation of advance directives and proxy decisions in a medical setting. I conclude that the extended mind thesis, if true, does mush to resolve longstanding debates over making medical decisions for incompetent persons."--Page ii.
