Making Decisions About Our Animals' Health Care: Does it Matter Whether We Are Owners or Guardians?


This Article explores whether legislating a language change from “owner” to “guardian” has any real impact on the way we make health care decisions for our animal companions. Part I of this Article addresses the arguments that have been mounted against the campaign to change pet “owners” into pet “guardians,” particularly those arguments that center around making choices regarding an animal's medical care. Part II of this Article looks at medical care decision-making in human medicine as a background for exploring these questions in veterinary medicine. Part III looks more generally at the extent to which the legal framework for clinical decision-making in human medicine can be imported into veterinary medicine and through what mechanisms.
