This essential collection presents cases that highlight ethical dilemmas that arise specifically in pediatrics including Autism; Adolescents and Young Adults; Social Media; Cardiology; COVID; Racism; and Child Abuse and Neglect focusing on child abuse, medical neglect, foster care, potential conflicts of interest, and forensic investigations. Complex cases in which multiple ethical concerns intertwine in important ways are also examined.
