Through a patient's autonomy, a patient should exercise his or her rational capacity to self-govern

and choose a course of action among different alternatives. For Immanuel Kant, one of the world's
most learned philosophers, the fundamental principle of morality is respect for persons as moral
agents, which includes respect for personal autonomy.18 Humans should be respected as self-
determining subjects, or rather, persons, as rational agents, should be treated as ends in themselves
and never mere objects.' 9 For Kant, the individual has the freedom to pursue the principles of a self-
legislated ethical system. 20 While an individual is free to follow his or her personal beliefs of what is
right, Kant's view of autonomy requires that "rational self-determination [be made] in accordance
with universal moral laws." 21

1 See Kant believed individuals should celebrate their autonomy because "it is the only thing that
can distinguish [rational beings] from the rest of the world, and [therefore] make us moral." Id. at
335.

21 See Hayry, supra note 18, at 335. Kant believed that all of mankind, as rational beings, possesses
"morally-practical reason," enabling mankind to be "free to make its own laws, and to act in
accordance with them, without paying unnecessary attention to the demands of the body. Id. at 334.
