1) if a pregn pt is mentally retarded and her parents demand abortion, the pt wants to continue pregnancy, wat is to be done?

2)While operating for appendix a surgeon sees ovarian tumor,he cannot resect without concent and will have to wait for pt to wake up... can he take biopsy without concent or he cannot even take biopsy?

3)Does a competent pregnant mother have the right to refuse a Cs that is good for her baby? if she refuses do we need a court order to have it on her?

  #2

1. from what I know, she has the right to say no and I think you cannot get a court order

2. also I'm not sure but I think he cannot take the biopsy

3. yes, she has. we need exclusively her consent

ans to 1. would be to listen to the parents and go ahead with abortion in case of a mentally retarded preg daughter.

  #6

ans to 1. the parents can not force the girl to have an abortion.because committed mentally ill patients retain their rights. the best way to facilitate discussion between the firl and her parents concerning their disagreement.
