This book examines the position of children who provide tissue to
potentially save the life of another. It questions whether child
donors of all ages have been treated appropriately and whether they
are sufficiently protected in acting as tissue donors, and
ultimately considers whether a new regulatory response is needed to
benefit donor children. The book couples a legal exposition of the
donor child's position with the medico-ethical reality of clinical
practice. In recent years, a growing body of literature concerning
the clinical experiences and outcomes for child donors has emerged.
This book adds to this by examining another dimension - the
regulatory frameworks at play. It examines the ethical arguments
for and against children acting as tissue donors and provides an
original analysis of the legal and non-legal regulatory frameworks
governing children's participation in the United Kingdom, United
States and Australia. It combines these doctrinal and theoretical
approaches with insights into clinical practice gained from the
results of qualitative research conducted with health
professionals. The analysis inevitably explores the more general
issues of children's right to make medical decisions, the role of
parents in decision-making, the value of the best interests test
and alternative (legal and ethical) standards, rights of
participation of children before the courts, and the role of law
and other forms of regulation in a clinical context.
