What are the components of informed consent, and why is it important to have it in clinical and research settings? In your answer, compare and contrast the four competing rules for deciding what information to disclose in order to make informed consent possible.
Discuss the notion of informed consent. Bioethics--Please help!?

it doesn't sound too bad though. check ur library - a decent bioethics text will get u thru this in about half an hour trust me......
good luck.
Reply:Simply argue that informed consent is rarely possible, and almost never in medical situations.
When I consent someone for an esophagectomy, for example, no one, but a skilled surgeon could understand the concept.
Not a chance. With an anatomy book, and a patient with an IQ of 120 or better, maybe, but it would take an hour. And they could never "understand" what Vtach is, or a chylothorax or any of the dozens of things I tell them every single day..
Just not possible, or realistic, a concept for the pseudo-intellectual elite to "discuss" in bioethics class.
Reply:informed consent? because the patient has the right to know whats going on with his body. the physician should be honest and clearly discuss the diagnosis and the prognosis of the condition. the treatment modalities should also be explained very well. however if there's any procedure that the patient has to undergo for the betterment of his condition, the dr. should then explain the pros and cons and ask if the patient ammends to that procedure. thats informed consent
