Autonomy and Informed Consent**One of the fundamental ethical principles in healthcare is respect for patient
autonomy—the right of patients to make decisions about their own bodies and medical treatments. This principle is
enshrined in the legal concept of informed consent. Informed consent requires healthcare providers to disclose all
relevant information about the risks, benefits, and alternatives to a medical treatment or procedure, allowing patients
to make informed decisions.However, challenges arise when patients are not fully capable of making informed
decisions (e.g., due to age, mental illness, or language barriers). In such cases, ethical dilemmas can arise regarding
whether a third party (e.g., a parent or guardian) should make the decision on the patient’s behalf, and whether the
legal framework supports such decisions.#### 2.2 **End-of-Life Decisions and Euthanasia**End-of-life care,
