Standards and Issues Surrounding HGH Treatments for Children This 5-page undergraduate paper considers the issues of standards surrounding cases of Human Growth Hormone (HGH) treatment for children who are short in stature. This essay addresses and number of questions, including “Ought parents be able to decide to give HGH treatments to their children based on their standard? Should the decision to give HGH treatments be based on a professionally determined standard? What are the key moral values in this case and what are most important? What is the morally acceptable level of risk to a child? Should the government or professional societies intervene to restrict parental rights in the best interest of the child?” and concludes that teams of parent and health care workers should work together to decide what is best for a child in a particular case.
