Over the past 40 years, the norms on who is to make treatment decisions for newborns, and on what standards, have been significantly altered and revised. Today the standard for treatment of newborns is the "best interest" of the child. A recent ruling of the Texas Supreme Court authorizing a doctor to resuscitate a potentially viable very premature newborn over the parents' objection is a challenge to that standard.
在过去40年里，关于由谁为新生儿做出治疗决策以及依据何种标准的规范，已经发生了显著变化和修订。如今，新生儿治疗的标准是孩子的“最大利益”。德克萨斯州最高法院最近做出的一项裁决，授权医生不顾父母反对对一名可能存活的极早产新生儿进行复苏，这对该标准构成了挑战。
