This volume examines the particular ethical and legal issues raised by children in the health care setting and considers the key areas of concern in relation to the balance between protecting the welfare of the young and their rights to autonomy.
How can medical law and ethics take forward the issue of children''s empowerment and protection? What are the key factors in considering the balance between protecting the welfare of the young and allowing them rights to autonomy? The Child as Vulnerable Patient investigates the role that a human rights approach can play in establishing the parameters of autonomy and discusses the opportunities presented in the Human Rights Act, the European Convention on the Rights of the Child and new policy initiatives in the NHS. A valuable addition to existing literature in this area, this volume will be of interest to lawyers, health professionals and students of medical law.
