This document discusses ethical issues around who decides on medical treatment and considers age as a factor. It argues that the patient should decide on their own treatment and that it is unethical to refuse treatment based solely on age, as an individual's health and circumstances may vary significantly from assumptions based on age. The document also stresses putting the child's needs and well-being first in medical decisions.
