The challenges of determining that life-sustaining medical treatment is not in a young child's best interests have resulted in criticism of the best interests principle. This book explores the theoretical foundations of the best interests principle, and alternatives offered in the academic literature, to allow readers to understand why the principle remains contentious despite its prevalence. It provides theoretical background, exploration of what occurs in practice, and proposes a novel approach to address these challenges. Frameworks for decision-making identified in the academic literature are used to examine the application of the best interests principle in practice in England and Wales, Australia, and New Zealand through a review of the case law and qualitative research with paediatric doctors. The exploration of current practice allows readers to understand the challenges of applying the best interests principle, but also the need to retain a focus on the child. Readers are introduced to a human-rights based approach, which ensures that the focus remains on upholding the child's best interests but also provides a more comprehensive explanation of the situation. Progressing the debate around end-of-life decision-making and children, the book will be a valuable resource for academics, researchers and policy-makers. It will also provide practical guidance to both legal and medical practitioners in managing disputes about the provision of life-sustaining treatment"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Sick children $x Legal status, laws, etc. 650 0 $a Child health services $x Law and legislation. 650 0 $a Children $x Legal status, laws, etc. 650 0 $a Medicine $x Decision making. 650 0 $a Informed consent (Medical law) 650 0 $a Parent and child (Law) 650 6 $a Medecine $x Prise de decision. 650 6 $a Consentement eclaire (Droit medical) 650 7 $a Child health services $x Law and legislation $2 fast 650 7 $a Children $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast 650 7 $a Informed consent (Medical law) $2 fast 650 7 $a Medicine $x Decision making $2 fast 650 7 $a Parent and child (Law) $2 fast 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619011748.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=550C55562E0111EFA856D47D28ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
