In the US is there a law that allows children to decide for themselves when it comes to health issues concerning them? Such as being apart of informed consents? I was wondering becaus, can there be a problem if parents refuse to tell their teenager (15) that they have cancer, even if the physician encourages that the teenager know about it. Is there a fine line between what you should inform your child and what the parent should decide?
