This book explores the full humanity of children, inviting greater recognition of their place in the moral landscape of healthcare. Children remain at the periphery when bioethics envisions autonomous adults as normative human beings. This book engages in interdisciplinary dialogue, weaving together bioethics, childhood studies, and pastoral theology, with illustrative clinical vignettes from the author's experience as a pediatric chaplain and clinical ethicist. Theological insights into vulnerability, dependence, and agency summon appreciation for the experiences of pediatric patients and reveal what it means to be human at every age.
