Pediatrics: Social, Ethical and Legal

Pediatrics: Social, Ethical and Legal — Expert Reference

How it begins

The child is not only a biological patient: he is a developing human being, immersed in a social context, bearer of rights, and subject to decisions that others make for him. This reference exhaustively addresses the social determinants of children's health, the ethical dilemmas that characterize pediatric medicine, and the regulatory framework that governs clinical practice with minors.
