It re-examines our fundamental assumptions about parenting, parental authority, and a liberal society's role in the raising of children. The author defends the idea that the good of a child is inexorably linked to the good of society. He identifies and critiques the problematic assumption that parenting is an extension of individual liberty and shows how we run into problems in medical decision-making for children because of this assumption. He develops an objective conception of what is good for a child in liberal society, drawing on the assumptions of liberty, and from here constructs a set of things that society and its members owe children. There are ways in which society should support and intervene in parental decisions to guarantee a child's well-being. Ultimately, raising children is a social activity that requires input from society. The author then applies this theory of childhood well-being to develop a framework for medical decision-making for children. He also uses practical examples, such as vaccinations, parental leave, and healthcare access, to demonstrate the implications of his theory for public policy. The Limits of Parental Authority: Childhood Wellbeing as a Social Good will be of interest to research and advanced students working in bioethics, political philosophy, and public health policy"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Child welfare. 650 0 $a Parenting. 650 0 $a Parent and child (Law) 650 2 $a Parenting $0 (DNLM)D016487 650 6 $a Role parental. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0057331 650 7 $a Child welfare. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00854709 650 7 $a Parent and child (Law) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01053336 650 7 $a Parenting. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01053407 776 08 $i Online version: $a Bester, Johann C. $t Limits of parental authority $d New York, NY : Routledge, 2022 $z 9781003025108 $w (DLC) 2021052243 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230317011328.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0A4DF462C48911EDAC2163E35EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
