OverviewHow can medical law and ethics take forward the issue of children's empowerment and protection? What are the key factors in considering the balance between protecting the welfare of the young and allowing them rights to autonomy? The Child as Vulnerable Patient investigates the role that a human rights approach can play in establishing the parameters of autonomy and discusses the opportunities presented in the Human Rights Act, the European Convention on the Rights of the Child and new policy initiatives in the NHS. A valuable addition to existing literature in this area, this volume will be of interest to lawyers, health professionals and students of medical law.

Table of ContentsReviews"'The Child as Vulnerable Patient makes a clear and thoughtful argument for empowerment of children as decision-makers in the context of health care and health policy. A valuable addition to the literature in this area, this book will be of interest to lawyers, health professionals and bioethicists.' Belinda Bennett, University of Sydney, Australia 'Hagger provides a sustained argument in favour of according greater weight to young people's autonomy in the health care context and a compelling defence of a human rights framework as the best way to achieve this. Her carefully nuanced approach and close attention to the realities of medical practice should ensure that her book is swiftly established as essential reading for anyone involved in paediatric medicine, as well as a useful resource for health care lawyers and ethicists.' Sally Sheldon, Kent University Law School, UK 'Lynn Hagger makes a carefully argued, up-to-date case for basing decisions in children's and young people's health care much more firmly in the 1998 Human Rights Act and the 1989 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Her book summarises and comments on a wealth of relevant law and controversial debates, and ranges from children's individual decisions to their potential greater involvement in health services planning.' Priscilla Alderson, University of London, UK 'In this timely book, Lynn Hagger argues persuasively that a community committed to human rights should strive to respect the health care choices of autonomous children. Whether in clinical or research settings, the trajectory of the law should be to protect children who say ""no"" while, at the same time, empowering those who want to say ""yes"".'
