Pediatric ethics has a unique character, different than that of adult ethics. In this course, we will explore the meaning of autonomy, personhood, assent and consent as they relate to the child. We will define each of the ethical principles from a pediatric perspective, address the ethical issues related to end of life, futility, religious and cultural applications in the ethical dilemmas in children, and more.
