The minor will have to have proper authorization from a parent or guardian, unless the hospital can get help from a judge.
Any unauthorized permission from persons other than a guardian or the courts will put the hospital up for a civil suite.
All this is from my understanding. You will have to check your state laws for verification.

Ethics is what you mean. Ethnic is an adjective. Also, you should do your own homework.
