| Summary: |
The article gives account for the case study
carried out in the Pediatric University Hospital
of the Puerto Rico Medical Center, located in San
Juan, Puerto Rico. Its main goal is to establish if
the practice of the Substituted Consent provided
by the parents or legal representatives of
youngsters who present intersexuality conditions,
sexual ambiguity and hermaphroditism that
require, at the same time, surgical interventions
or relocation or sex change. Thus, the juridical
figure of the Informed Consent corresponded
as well with the rights claimed by the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights and the policies that
develop it. Additionally, the research performed
a comparative analysis between the juridical
treatment given in the hospital facility in these
types of processes and the jurisprudentially
established treatment throughout Unified
Judgment by the Constitutional Court of Colombia
for equal circumstances. |
