It examines the historical and legal foundations of this doctrine within Anglo-American legal systems, highlighting the need for a clear understanding of the state's responsibilities and the ethical implications of its interventions in the lives of nonautonomous persons. The author argues for a fiduciary model of parens patriae, where the state acts solely in the best interests of these individuals, contrasting this with other models that may allow for the influence of societal or parental interests in decision-making. The article ultimately calls for a reevaluation of parental rights in light of the state's obligations to protect the welfare of children and other vulnerable individuals. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Ethics & Social Philosophy is the property of Journal of Ethics & Social Philosophy and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
