Quelle autonomie pour le majeur sous tutelle dans le domaine médical, et plus particulièrement en situation de fin de vie ?

In France, medical treatments to adult under guardianship raise the question of the decision-taker. After illustrating the tensions that may exist with three clinical cases, we will confront the actual and different legislations on the topic. Until recently, opinion of the adult under guardianship has merely to be heard. But, since the Law of 2nd February 2016 - New end of life's law - the view of the protected major can bind the doctor in certain circumstances. In fact, the adult under guardianship has been granted a right to write advance directives with the approval of the guardianship judge or family council.
