Parental Refusal is a legal and ethical construct within pediatric healthcare decision-making that designates a parent's authority to decline medical treatment for their minor child, grounded in parental autonomy and custody rights, yet subject to limitations when such refusal conflicts with the child's best interests or statutory protections.
