Abstract
Elective surgery differs from other forms of surgery in that subjective desires often play a large role in the patient's decision-making process. In discussing and analyzing the nature of these subjective desires and the postoperative psychological implications of various operations, the writer suggests that a legal duty should exist to screen patients requesting elective surgery.
