The contention that paternalism can be modernised in such a way as to avoid the usual criticisms is examined and dismissed. The alleged 'modernisation' consists simply in going through the motions of achieving the patient's free consent, while leaving the ultimate decision to the physician. Paternalism in this form is no better than the more old-fashioned variety, since it still takes away from patients the fundamental human right to make decisions about their own fate.

KIE: Matthews takes issue with an article by Gary B. Weiss ("Paternalism modernised," Journal of Medical Ethics 1985 Dec; 11(4): 184-187), in which Weiss argued that critics of medical paternalism base their objections on an outmoded conception of paternalism and that modern paternalism can be defended because it takes account of the patient's values and interests as well as those of the physician. Matthews contends that the crucial issue is one of power, and that modern paternalism makes no genuine concession to patient autonomy because it is still the physician who makes the ultimate decision on care.
