Abstract
This paper discusses the principle of autonomy in relation to minors and considers the complexities of parental responsibility regarding consent to treatment. The author considers the case of a child with leukaemia and draws on her own experiences as a parent to highlight the ethical dilemmas for health care professionals who may be in a position to support parents in consenting to treatment on behalf of their child.Entities:
