Jun, age 14, is afflicted with a harelip and cleft palate and needs a common operation that
promises to improve both his appearance and his speech a significantly. The boy's father, a
believer in mental healing, refuses to permit the operation. The physician explains the operation
to Jun, who expresses a desire to "try for some time longer to close the cleft palate through
natural forces."
Is the father acting ethically on the basis of any one of the three surrogate principles? Do
not neglect the social implications of the decisions. Should Jun's opinion carry some
weight? Should the physician have sought a court order? Justify your answers​
