Fondation Brocher | Isra Black

L’utilité de ce genre d’institutions est incontestable. Car le monde moderne est sans cesse confronté à des innovations, médicales ou autres, qui s’appliquent à l’homme ou à son environnement proche. Ce lieu est donc nécessaire pour préparer la matière intellectuelle qui sera ensuite transférée aux citoyens afin que ceux- ci puissent se prononcer quant à la légitimité de ces innovations.

Children’s Consent to Medical Treatment: A Philosophical and Comparative Legal Study
• To apply philosophical accounts of children’s welfare to the legal issue of children’s consent to medical treatment. • To investigate the relation between decision-making capacity, values, and voluntariness, in order to evaluate court practice in respect of children’s consent to medical treatment. • To develop a rigorous account of the circumstances in which children’s consent to medical treatment should be upheld or overridden. • To conduct comparative investigation of the legal regimes for children’s consent in England and Wales, and Canada. • To test the plausibility of philosophical accounts of children’s welfare in light of the outcomes predicted in the children’s consent setting. • To write and submit two journal articles from the project during the stay at Brocher, and a further article after we leave.
