What Types of Issues Do Ethics Committees Address?
Ethics committees deal with a variety of issues such as:
1. Informed Consent: Ensuring that parents or guardians have all the information needed to make decisions on behalf of their children. 2. End-of-Life Care: Making decisions about life-sustaining treatments for terminally ill children. 3. Confidentiality: Balancing the need to protect a child's privacy with the need to share information for their care. 4. Resource Allocation: Deciding how to allocate limited resources in a way that is fair and just.
