Children, Families, and Health Care Decision Making (Issues in Biomedical Ethics) by Lainie Friedman Ross Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA Publication Date: Thursday, April 08, 1999 Number of Pages: 216 ISBN: 0198237634

Book Summary: Ross here presents an original and controversial look at the moral principles that guide parents in making health care decisions for their children, and the role of children in the decision-making process. She opposes the current movement to increase child autonomy, in favor of respect for family autonomy and proposes significant changes in what informed consent allows and requires for pediatric health care decisions. The first systematic medical ethics book that focuses specifically on children's health care, Ross's work has important things to say to health care providers who work with children as well as to ethicists and public policy analysts.
