[Minor's medical information]

Minor's medical information. In exercising parental authority, parents make medical treatment decisions on children's behalf. However, according to the French law, minors must receive clear medical informations and care-givers must seek their consent to treatment. In some situations, parental authority may be in conflict with child's will. This article examines legislative framework provided by the French law, to respect child's autonomy and situations in which parental authority is limited. In practice, the concept of child's 'best interests' remains the main key to resolve potential conflicts between parental authority and child's autonomy.
