Ethical issues in pediatric treatment and research are considered and discussed in the light of different models of the health-professional/patient relationship. Specifically considered are the treatment of severely impaired newborns, treatment of children without parents' consent, and research involving children. With regard to the last issue, the recommendations of the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Bio-medical and Behavioral Research are discussed and analyzed. Finally, other ethical literature dealing with the involvement of children in research is considered and evaluated.
