ABSTRACT:


The principle of autonomy should be completed with principle of individual integrity which it is an expression of partial autonomy (Segre 1999). Maximizing the moral agent’s autonomy could lead to moral minimalism. Autonomy is related to the ability to make moral decisions, to have moral discernment (Cojocaru, D., Sandu, 2011). However, assessing the ability of a person to behave as moral agent, violates his autonomy, as he designs on himself our own moral visions (Segre 1999). Segre expresses his disagreement against the view that autonomy can be granted only to persons capable of self-determination. Behaviors modified by the use of psychotropic substances, religious fanaticism, or by particular anatomical conditions physiological, such as the existence of a brain tumor, are not a disqualification of individual autonomy but a particular facet of it related to the reality of a person. Segre (1999) shows that each individual who exercise self-determination and regardless of cultural, genetic or cognitive conditioning is thus independent. Segre examines a number of particular cases of exercising of autonomy by children, the victims of domestic violence, psychiatric wards patients, treatment refusal situations.
