Abstract
Abstract : The consultation paper and a related bill was issued by the Hong Kong Government in 2015. They discussed, in the context of child sustody, the possibility of replacing the traditional concept of parental rights with parental responsibility, aiming to construct and provide stronger entrechment of the best interests of children. This paper investigates whether the proposal can manufacture better protection on the one hand, while on the other, genuinely enhancing children's rights, by using four different jurisprudential paradigms- Deleuze, Zizek, Buddhist and Daosit. The author argues that only by de-aging law, can children's rights and voices be respected. Paragraph Headings: 1. Deleuzean Schizophrenia 精神分裂of Law: Becoming Children孩子轉化生成 2.
