This article addresses the autonomy of children and adolescents in healthcare decisions, focusing on those ones that might entail a risk to the child's life or health, especially when a medical intervention is refused. In these cases, a conflict between the recognition of the autonomy of the child and his or her protection arises, and various legal systems solve it in different ways. This study examines this issue from a comparative perspective between Belgian and Spanish laws, taking into account that the latter was rewritten in 2015 to leave out all underage patients' decisions that could constitute a risk for their life or health.

儿童自主权与医疗保健保护之间的冲突。西班牙和比利时法律比较研究

本文讨论儿童和青少年在医疗保健决策中的自主权，重点关注那些可能对儿童的生命或健康构成风险的决策，尤其是在拒绝医疗干预时。在这些情况下，对儿童自主权的承认与对其保护的冲突就产生了，各种法律制度以不同的方式解决了这一矛盾。这项研究从比利时和西班牙法律之间的比较角度研究了这个问题，并考虑到后者是在2015年重新编写的，以排除所有未成年患者可能对其生命或健康构成风险的决定。
