上诉法庭在Re R及Re W一案中提出具争议性的观点，认为父母及子女可同时拥有有效同意接受医疗的权力，本文就该观点提供部分辩护，并建议在日后的案件中如何区分该等个案。辩护的依据是强调拒绝同意与拒绝治疗之间的区别。文章认为，这种区别解释了为什么在某些情况下，父母有权表示同意，即使在子女拒绝同意的情况下。文章还认为，支持这种做法的伦理论据。
This article provides a partial defence of the Court of Appeal’s controversial view in Re R and Re W that there can be concurrent powers to give effective consent to medical treatment in parent and child, and suggests how those cases might be distinguished in a future case. The defence is based on emphasising the distinction between a refusal to consent and a refusal of treatment. The article argues that this distinction explains why in some cases a parent can have the power to consent, even where the child has refused to consent. The article also considers ethical arguments in support of this approach.
