A member asked:
Do i need parental consent if i think i may be pregnant and need to see a doctor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not at your age: Since your age is listed as 43, you will not need any consent. The issue of consent comes when the person is a minor. The laws differ in different states but all depend on the definition of who a minor is. Usually 16 is considered as a consenting age for examination, signing self in hospital or procedures done.
