Mature minor doctrine
The mature minor doctrine is an American term for the statutory, regulatory, or common law policy accepting that an unemancipated minor patient may possess the maturity to choose or reject a particular health care treatment, sometimes without the knowledge or agreement of parents, and should be permitted to do so.〔''West's encyclopedia of American law'', Volume 8, West Publishing, 1998, page 47〕 It is now generally considered a form of patients rights; formerly, the Mature Minor Rule was largely seen as protecting health care providers from criminal and civil claims by parents of minors at least 15 years of age.〔''Legal issues in pediatrics and adolescent medicine'' by Angela Roddey Holder, Yale University Press, 1985, page 133〕
Jurisdictions may codify an 'age of medical consent', may accept the judgment of licensed providers regarding an individual minor, or may accept a formal court decision following a request that a patient be designated a "Mature Minor", or may rely on some combination. For example, patients aged 16 may be assumed to be 'mature minors' for this purpose,〔"Definitions", ''USLegal.com'', (Retrieved 2011-05-16 ), "Mature minor doctrine is a legal principle which...has been consistently applied in cases where the minor is sixteen years or older"〕 patients aged 13 to 15 may be so-designated by licensed providers, and pre-teen patients may be so-designated after evaluation by an agency or court. The ''mature minor doctrine'' is sometimes, but not always, connected with enforcing confidentiality of minor patients from their parents.〔''The Mature Minor Rule: Teens and patient confidentiality'', Public Health - Seattle & King County, (Retrieved 2011-05-13 )〕
==Statute==
In the United States, a typical statute lists: ''"Who may consent (withhold consent for ) surgical or medical treatment or procedures."''
:"...Any unemancipated minor of sufficient intelligence to understand and appreciate the consequences of the proposed surgical or medical treatment or procedures, for himself."〔''Mississippi Code'', (Retrieved 2011-05-13 )〕〔''2010 Arkansas Code'', (Retrieved 2011-05-13 )〕
