Only a competent patient has the legal capacity to understand and make decisions regarding their medical treatment. Legally incompetent adults and minors under the age of majority are not considered legally capable of providing informed consent. While a pregnant minor has the legal capacity to provide informed consent to medical treatment related to their pregnancy, a minor who is not pregnant is still considered legally incompetent.
