Holders of parental responsibility have the power to make decisions regarding the childs health. While this may seem simple at first glance, there is a whole set of issues associated with this side of parental responsibility. Parental responsibility includes rights as well as duties. Parents also have discretionary rights. How then will responsible parents exercise their rights and duties? The answer to this question is primarily up to the responsible parent, but it also depends on a number of other factors. Education is the systematic teaching of the child, in both private and public domain, about key contents of the prevailing worldview. Although upbringing and education are inseparable from the most important aspects of social order, upbringing is to a greater extent subject to the discretionary rights of the parents, while education is organized by the political community. This issue is particularly relevant in the context of the childs right to health.
