Toward an Informed Discussion of Informed Consent: A Review and Critique of the Empirical Studies

Abstract

This Article analyzes the findings of empirical inquiries into the operation of the doctrine of informed consent, criticizing the lack of conclusive evidence the studies offer. The author cautions against the establishment of policy based on these findings and argues that informed consent policy should be based largely on values, informed by sound social science evidence as well as other forms of knowledge.
