Dr. Stone was well known for her steadfast support of patient autonomy. Her career was dedicated to upholding the concept that patients should have complete choice over the healthcare decisions they make. Her work helped enable people to make educated decisions about their health and questioned many of the norms in contemporary healthcare through her push for open communication between physicians and patients.

She advocated for a system in which morality, empathy, and regard for each person’s rights serve as the foundation for medical judgments. Despite sometimes putting her in awkward positions within the medical establishment, her unwavering dedication to her cause was evident.
