Re: Restoring balance to “best interests” disputes in children
This sort of discussion and decision making is extremely complicated and may be unequivocal. I agree with the statement that awareness of all the clinical detail and understanding the arguments is essential for participation in such kinds of discussion. The balance between privacy and publicity is very important. The child's sake should have first place. I'd say: as much privacy as possible at the same time without limiting the circle of real experts and authorities who may be really helpful.
