description The object of study in this article is to analyze the complex situation that arises in the sanitary field when a minor declines medical treatment for religious, ideological or any other reasons. In order to find a solution to this question, the concept of minor is analyzed, as is the term less mature, which is so deeply rooted in western culture and legislation.

The conclusions drawn can be extrapolated to any legal system that tries to guarantee greater respect and attention to the decisions of minors.
