"Everything has been tried and his heart can't recover…": A Descriptive Review of "Do Everything!" in the Archive of Ontario Consent and Capacity Board.

Background: In end-of-life situations, the phrase "do everything" is sometimes invoked by physicians, patients, or substitute decision-makers (SDM), though its meaning is ambiguous. We examined instances of the phrase "do everything" in the archive of the Ontario Consent and Capacity Board (CCB) in Canada, a tribunal with judicial authority to adjudicate physician-patient conflicts in order to explore its potential meanings.

Methods: We systematically searched the CCB's online public archive from its inception to 2018 for any references to "do everything" in the context of critical care medicine and end-of-life care.

Respect for Intimacy Among Persons Whose Privacy Is Compromised.

This invited commentary addresses an article by Joy and Weiss and their views on the potential use of sexual advanced directives "… as a theoretical mechanism to assert sexual desire past incapacity …." Their article focuses on the importance of the sexual rights of individuals with neurocognitive disorders, principally dementia, in which there is a progressive decrease in executive functioning leading to impaired communication, understanding, and judgment. Individuals with dementia may be increasingly challenged to maintain autonomy in life, such as in cases of financial decision-making, self-care, end-of-life care, and, as Joy and Weiss point out, decisions pertaining to sexual relations.
