      abstract = {This book provides a multidisciplinary analysis of the  potential conflict between a government's duty to protect  children and a parent(s)' right to raise children in a  manner they see fit. Using philosophical, bioethical, and  legal analysis, the author engages with key scholars in  pediatric decision-making and individual and religious  rights theory. Going beyond the parent-child dyad, the  author is deeply concerned both with the interests of the  broader society and with the appropriate limits of  government interference in the private sphere. The text  offers a balance of individual and population interests,  maximizing liberty but safeguarding against harm. Bioethics  and law professors will therefore be able to use this text  for both a foundational overview as well as specific,  subject-level analysis. Clinicians such as pediatricians  and gynecologists, as well as policy-makers can use this  text to achieve balance between these often competing  claims. The book is written by a physician with practical  and theoretical knowledge of the subject, and deep sympathy  for the parental and family perspectives. As such, the book  proposes a new way of evaluating parental and state  interventions in children's healthcare: a refreshing  approach and a useful addition to the literature.},
