The concepts of law and ethics as related to medical practice have always been of paramount importance to the medical profession. This series of three reviews, examines the changes in the law in the last 10 years in relation to ethics and the practice of paediatric anaesthesia. The reviews cover, in a practical question and answer format, the topics of consent, research, intensive care and organ donation issues in children.
