"Is competence not rather a question of degree and a question of context in the sense that children – and, as a matter of fact, all human beings – may very well be competent to decide on certain issues while not on others or be competent to decide if certain conditions are met – such as the conditions required in the doctrine on informed consent – while their decision may be efficient if these conditions are not fulfilled?"
