摘要

在我们的论文中，我们提出并分析了Ashley X的病例和她所接受的治疗，作为对儿童进行侵入性医疗程序的一个例子。该病例至今仍有争议，包括抑制生长、子宫切除、阑尾切除和乳腺芽切除在内的治疗方法既有反对者，也有支持者。在我们的论文中，我们仔细研究了一些对阿什利案例和治疗的伦理分析很重要的论点。首先，为了更好地了解这个案子，我们介绍她的医疗状况。其次，我们提到治疗性与非治疗性医疗程序的分类。第三，我们研究了无能患者的替代决定问题。最后，我们分析了两个重要的伦理论点:a)开放未来的权利和b)最大利益标准。

Shaping the body of a child. Invasive medical procedures on incompetent patients – some ethical and medical remarks on Ashley’s case.

In our paper we present and analyze the case of Ashley X and the treatment she underwent as an example of invasive medical procedures performed on children. The case still remains controversial, and the treatment consisting of growth attenuation, hysterectomy, appendectomy and breast buds removal has both its opponents and proponents. In our paper we have a closer look at some arguments important for ethical analysis of Ashley’s case and treatment. First, for a better understanding of the case we present her medical condition. Secondly, we refer to the classification of therapeutic versus non-therapeutic medical procedures. Thirdly, we examine the issue of surrogate decisions for incompetent patients. Finally, we analyze two vital ethical arguments: a) the right to the open future and b) the criterion of best-interest.
