This timely collection brings together philosophical, legal and
sociological perspectives on the crucial question of who should
make decisions about the fate of a child suffering from a serious
illness. In particular, the collection looks at whether the current
'best interests' threshold is the appropriate boundary for legal
intervention, or whether it would be more appropriate to adopt the
'risk of significant harm' approach proposed in Gard. It explores
the roles of parents, doctors and the courts in making decisions on
behalf of children, actively drawing on perspectives from the
clinic as well as academia and practice. In doing so, it teases out
the potential risks of inappropriate state intrusion in parental
decision-making, and considers how we might address them.
