Article Abstract:
There is much controversy over whether an adolescent medical patient has sufficient decision-making capacity to refuse medical treatment. Many factors must be taken into consideration by the medical staff, including family beliefs and cultural values. Folklorists can be helpful in situations where there is cultural opposition to certain treatments or operations.

Indexing folktales: a critical survey
Article Abstract:
An international type and motif indexing guide for folktales is desperately needed to document more recent tales from traditions not recorded in the previous works.
