Beskrivning
This book explores the full humanity of children, inviting greater recognition of their place in the moral landscape of healthcare. Children remain at the periphery when bioethics envisions autonomous adults as normative human beings. This book engages in interdisciplinary dialogue, weaving together bioethics, childhood studies, and pastoral theology, with illustrative clinical vignettes from the author's experience as a pediatric chaplain and clinical ethicist. Theological insights into vulnerability, dependence, and agency summon appreciation for the experiences of pediatric patients and reveal what it means to be human at every age.

Recensioner i media

Experienced chaplain and scholar Jessica Bratt Carle takes us inside ICUs and hospital rooms for a rare look into children's lives amid illness. What she learns sparks a rich debate with the bioethical ideal of patient autonomy, revealing how this default position jeopardizes not just children whose vulnerability, dependence, and agency must be respected but all of us adults who also share these traits. A wonderful window into children’s complex moral worlds and the invaluable role of theology in understanding them.
