Summary/Abstract: Regardless of the widespread compliance with the concept of child’s best interest in the social, medical, legal and other areas, there are still significant ethical disputes about the criteria that constitute the concept and the reliability of its implementation.

Employing available experience and knowledge the text examines two separate approaches to substantiate the best interest principle, and also to link it to criteria ensuring its proper implementation within the field the specialized care for children.
