All right. Maybe that is a valid definition of competence. What do the
others on this list think about Alan's definition of competence?




The criteria for competence are legal
and vary with different actions and rights,
e.g. competence to drive, to vote, to manage finances, to make medical
decisions, etc.
Competence is legally defined not medically defined.
Courts make decisions about competence, not doctors.
