Substituted Judgment Standard

The "Substituted Judgment Standard" is a decision-making framework used in end-of-life care that belongs to the class of ethical and legal standards for surrogate decision-making, distinguished by its requirement that surrogates make treatment decisions based on their best assessment of what the incapacitated patient would have desired, had they been able to express their preferences.
