Patient Autonomy and the Freedom to Act against One's Self-Interest
Clinical Laboratory Science 21 (2):114-115 (2008)
Abstract
A 16 year old Hodgkin lymphoma patient refuses to have his blood specimen drawn, thus canceling his scheduled oncologic treatment. As a 16 year old, he has no legal standing as an adult. His parents are split over his decision. One supports his right to choose; the other wishes the specimen to be drawn and the chemotherapy reinstated. The physicians at the hospital are seeking legal redress to have the court order the blood specimens to be taken.Author's Profile
