N2  - OBJECTIVE: to identify and analyse children's voices in healthcare decision making in the discourse of Brazil's child protection laws. <br><br>METHOD: Documentary normative analysis of Brazil's child protection legislation (1988-2012) based on the content analysis of nine texts, conducted in 2015. <br><br>RESULTS: The legislation acknowledges and stresses the voice of children in the decision-making process in research and healthcare. Any recognition of the right to dignity, liberty, information, and protection depends on what the adult decision-maker (with parental authority) believes is the child's capacity for discernment and whether the situation will cause self-harm. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: the normative child protection discourse grants children a voice, although with restrictions and under the authority of the adult with parental authority.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
