Abstract
The patient's right to informed consent is grudgingly
acknowledged by medical professionals, firmly established in
law, and brandished as a shibboleth by most bioethicists. But
questions remain concerning genuine patient autonomy, and the
doctrine of informed consent offers inadequate answers. In addition
to the continuing controversy over what counts as
“informed,” the passive acquiescence implied by
“consent” seems a pale shadow of genuine autonomy.
