Limitation arrêt de traitement chez l'enfant: quels problèmes éthiques ?

The aim of this publication is to explore the ethical tensions during withholding and withdrawing treatment in infant decision making. The first difficulty is to identify an unreasonable obstinacy. Wilfulness, singularity of the situations, resort to dual effect theory, uncertainty, are studied. The parents' place is evocated. Collegiality and an ethical approach inspired by Ricoeur's thinking are proposed as a possible way to resolve some of the ethical tensions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
