Abstract
The principles which govern the relationship between the legal
 capacities of children, the responsibilities of parents and the limits
 of State intervention are best exemplified in the field of medical
 decision-making. This is primarily because the health of children
 is evidently the most basic and essential element in protecting
 their welfare. It is therefore somewhat perplexing to discover that
 issues relating to child and parental rights in the context of consent
 continue to generate debate as a matter of conflict rather than
 consensus in the best interests of the child.
