*Illustrative imageDiscussing Medical Care for Seriously Ill Children
How far to go in treating a child with a serious illness must be decided together by healthcare professionals and the family. The lab studies the thinking behind guidelines for such discussions and how to support decision-making around advanced medical technology.
*Illustrative imageRespecting Children's Wishes
Children also hold opinions about their own medical care. The lab takes up ethical issues arising in settings such as pediatric neurological diseases, and considers through concrete cases how to respect children's self-determination.
