La tutela della persona minore d’età nella relazione di cura

Abstract

The research article investigates, in an evolutionary key, the theme of the protection of minors in the care relationship and in the adoption of the therapeutic choices that concern them. We proceed to a re-reading of the discipline on informed consent using the lens of the discernment ability of the minor person and, therefore, of the so-called best interest of the child, seeking a reasonable balance between the various interests involved.
