Beyond Canterbury: Can Medicine and Law Agree about Informed Consent? And Does It Matter?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 January 2021
Abstract
Informed consent is central to the law of the physicianpatient relationship, respecting patient autonomy. This paper addresses a conflict between law and medicine in defining informed consent. Additionally, it addresses the possibility that patients prefer not to be “informed“ and would defer decision-making to their physicians.
