!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is given by a [person] who has a clear appreciation and understanding of the facts, implications, and future consequences of an action.
[{$pagename}] appears to used only within the [Health Care|HealthCare] [context] and [{$applicationname}] sees this as at least closely related to [Express consent|Explicit consent]
!! [Health Care|HealthCare]
In [Health Care|HealthCare], [{$pagename}] is a process for getting [permission] before conducting a [HealthCare] intervention on a person. A [Health Care Provider] may ask a [patient] to [consent] to receive therapy before providing it, or a clinical researcher may ask a research participant before enrolling that person into a clinical trial. [{$pagename}] is collected according to guidelines from the fields of medical ethics and research ethics.
An [{$pagename}] can be said to have been given based upon a clear appreciation and understanding of the facts, implications, and consequences of an action. To give [{$pagename}], the individual concerned must have adequate reasoning faculties and be in possession of all relevant facts. Impairments to reasoning and judgment that may prevent [{$pagename}] include basic intellectual or emotional immaturity, high levels of stress such as PTSD or a severe intellectual disability, severe mental illness, intoxication, severe sleep deprivation, Alzheimer's disease, or being in a coma.
Some acts can take place because of a lack of [{$pagename}]. In cases where an individual is considered unable to give [{$pagename}], another person is generally authorized to give [{$pagename}] on his behalf, e.g., parents or [legal] guardians of a child (though in this circumstance the child may be required to provide [{$pagename}]) and conservators for the mentally ill.
In cases where an individual is provided insufficient information to form a reasoned decision, serious ethical issues arise. Such cases in a clinical trial in medical research are anticipated and prevented by an ethics committee or Institutional Review Board.
! [{$pagename}] [HHS]
The [{$pagename}] process involves three key features:
* (1) disclosing to potential research subjects information needed to make an informed decision;
* (2) facilitating the understanding of what has been disclosed;
* (3) promoting the voluntariness of the decision about whether or not to participate in the research.
