TY - JOUR PY - 1989// TI - Violence involving minors. Reflections on medical ethics JO - Minerva Pediatrica A1 - Cattorini, P. SP - 553 EP - 558 VL - 41 IS - 11 N2 - A case of violence involving a minor is analysed from the ethical point of view, pointing out that the so-called principles of biomedical ethics (autonomy, beneficence, justice) intersect and are sometimes in conflict one with the other. A series of conditions is proposed for tracing the authentic representative of the interests of pediatric patients, and the clinician's role in difficult cases, which should be that of a guardian and an adviser as well as a technician is underlined.
