Pediatric Capability to Consent: An Ethical Dilemma Why is there no age of consent? Only are they "capable"..what makes one child capable and one not. Should there be a stronger system in this matter? There are 3 ethical perspectives I am looking at Utilitarianism, Deontology, and Care Ethics. How would each perspective look at this topic and what would be their opinion or side in the matter? Any information would be super helpful! thanks in advance :)
