Autonomy is a crucial, yet litigious right in health care that is usually unquestioned in the case of adults. However, children's or their guardian's refusal to accept necessary medical care can expedite the question of autonomy from the medical to the legal arena. Therefore, to save time, money, and lives, the health care establishment, specifically ethics committees, must be given rights as a judicial body to hand down binding judgments in cases of minors refusing the medical community's standard of care.
自主权在医疗保健中是一项至关重要但又容易引发诉讼的权利，在成年人的情况下通常不会受到质疑。然而，儿童或其监护人拒绝接受必要的医疗护理，可能会使自主权问题从医疗领域迅速转移到法律领域。因此，为了节省时间、金钱和挽救生命，医疗机构，特别是伦理委员会，必须被赋予司法机构的权力，以便在未成年人拒绝接受医疗界护理标准的情况下做出具有约束力的判决。
