El derecho público en la determinación del interés de menores terminales en el Reino Unido
Summary: This paper comments three recent cases related to British and European Courts decisions on disputes regarding the withdrawal of life sustaining treatment to children. Those issues are usually considered under private law, confronting the best interest of the child with parental responsibility. However, there is also a public law perspective to explore, involving administrative law, human rights and EU citizenship. Special attention is paid to medical decisions made within the National Health Services as administrative action submitted to judicial review; interferences with free movement, provision and receipt of services; religious dimension and State discretion in the conferral of citizenship by naturalization.
