Interests and neonates: There is more to the story than we explicitly acknowledge
Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics 28 (5):357-372 (2007)
Abstract
Although there are many different moral arguments concerning the use of Best Interests in neonatal decision-making, there seems in practice a firm commitment to application of the concept. And yet, there is still little reflection given by practitioners about what employing a Best Interest determination means in infant care. The following lays out a comprehensive taxonomy of interest-sources in order to provide for more robust considerations of what constitutes best interests of/for neonates.Other Versions
