Summary
Consent is an expression of the therapeutic relationship shared by health professionals and patients. The doctrine of consent is also a function of a fundamental respect for persons, and in legal discourse it functions to protect both autonomy and respect. Consent legally performs a permissive function that requires that patient be asked for permission before any intervention is made to their body and a risk function by requiring information to be provided to patients about the risks of having or not having a proposed intervention, especially when those risks are material to the patient.
