Résumé
Although traditional medical ethics focuses on the dyadic doctor-patient relationship, when the patient is a child, the relationship is triadic, meaning it involves the patient, the parent(s), and the clinician. A brief examination of the family, the rights and responsibilities of parents, the rights of children, and the moral basis of the parent-child relationship provide a philosophic underpinning for understanding the family in pediatric decision-making. Although biological parents have presumptive authority to make health-care decisions for their children, and are given wide discretion, parental autonomy is not absolute.
