Prevent Medical System Bullying with Informed Consent Law

Life-saving knowledge to help you stand strong

The principle of informed consent stands as one of the most important safeguards of personal freedom. Yet, as many have painfully discovered—especially during the COVID-19 era—this principle is frequently violated.

“Informed Choice” Is the Better Term

True informed consent is not merely signing a form or hearing a quick disclaimer. It is the receipt of all information material to making an intelligent, voluntary decision about a medical procedure.
More accurately, it should be called informed choice, because once a person is fully informed, they may reasonably refuse the intervention. Giving or withholding consent is the outcome of a process that respects the patient’s autonomy.
