Tara, a 15 year old girl approaches a health professional and seeks assurance from the health professional that her conversation will be kept confidential. The health professional assures her that unless there are compelling reasons ie. that the public will be at risk of harm, that the conversation would be confidential. Tara proceeds with her request for the 'morning after' pill as she is concerned that after having unprotected sex with her boyfriend that she may be pregnant. Tara is not taking regular oral contraceptives. Tara shares that her parents (who access the same health service) are 'very religious' and 'don't believe in premarital sex', hence her seeking reassurance about confidentiality. Tara further states that her parents would be 'disgusted' if they found out she was seeking the morning after pill and would disown her.Tara has researched social media and online materials and has determined that there are no negative short (apart from a potential headache) or long term health consequences for her if she takes the pill. She tells the health professional, who is legislated to administer the 'morning after' pill, that "one of her friends has had the morning after pill and she was fine", and she wants to have it too, just in case.

What are the legal and ethical principles raised in this case?Are there multiple perspectives to consider? Give reasons (drawn from the literature) for your answers.
