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.
