Topical and compelling, this volume provides an excellent
re-evaluation of the 'best interests' test in the healthcare arena;
the ways in which it has developed, the inherent difficulties in
its use and its interpretation in legal cases concerning the
medical care of children.
Comprehensively covering both the English and Scottish position
within the context of the European Convention of human Rights and
the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, the author examines a
wide range of healthcare situations, from the commonly occurring to
the unusual, offering a detailed analysis of legislation, case law,
cases and their implications.
It includes discussions on:
- the extent to which a child's body can be examined, operated on
and affected by medicines, devices or procedures intended to bring
about medical change
- the appropriate scope of parental choice and authority and at
what stage of their development children should be allowed to make
their own decisions
- the response to situations where the interests of children may
be in conflict - the cases of conjoined twins or the donation of
organs to siblings.
This work is a key resource for postgraduates and researchers
working and studying in the fields of law, healthcare and
medicine.
