JEWISH LAW - Medical Informed Consent in Jewish Law- from the Patient’s Side
www.jlaw.com/Articles/MedConsent.html
Judaism requires a type of informed consent that while not identical to the secular concept, in some ways is actually more stringent than its secular counterpart. The key distinction between the secular and the Jewish approaches to informed consent is the difference between rights and obligations. The secular emphasis on autonomy inescapably leads to the conclusion that the patient has the right to refuse any and all medical information. In Judaism, both becoming informed and giving consent for appropriate treatment are required.
