Abstract

In modern medical treatment, children are always considered immature to make crucial decisions. It seems to be conventional for someone else to do it for the children. Most of the time, there are more advantages, but it also raises many problems. To examine those problems and their most reasonable solution, few cases and the theory principalism about children medical autonomy have been reviewed. The past research of people’s preference in making medical decisions by Kavitha et al. 2020 has also been investigated. As a result, educational approach and the set up of appropriate legislative system will both be the basis to support the children’s right to autonomy.
