LSE Research Showcase: How should we approach decision-making for people with dementia?

LSE Research Showcase with Anna Mahtani

Topic: How should we approach decision-making for people with dementia?

Tuesday 6 February, Vera Anstey Room, Old Building, 11-11.30am

Anyone who has cared for a person with dementia will know there are many decisions to be made – from everyday decisions about what activities to pursue or what clothes to wear, to major ones about accommodation, care and medical treatment. Who should be making these decisions? What if decisions conflict with a person’s long-held values? Given many of us may develop dementia in the future, should we bind our future selves with living statements and wills? In this talk, Dr Anna Mahtani considers the philosophical implications of these questions surrounding dementia and decision-making.

These sessions are open to LSE staff, students, alumni and prospective students. More about the event series.
