What Does the Natural Law Say About Individual Persons? Guardianship and Incompetence [No. 86]

If every person has natural individual rights, what considerations should guide decisions made by a guardian of another person?
Professor Richard Epstein discusses guardianship arrangements and duties between parents and children. Parents are naturally inclined to nurture their children, and the legal system only intervenes if there is abuse or neglect. Similarly, in the case of an elderly parent or incapacitated relative, the family should exercise a considerate guardianship and closely monitor any third party caregiver.
Professor Richard Epstein is the inaugural Laurence A. Tisch Professor of Law at NYU School of Law, a Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, and Professor of Law Emeritus and a senior lecturer at the University of Chicago.

They lie about abuse and neglect sometimes.
