For this discussion assignment, the case study comes from page 106 in your text. Informed consent is one of the most important and controversial topics in medical ethics and, if you plan to work in that field, it will likely come up time and time again. So, spend some time thinking about these questions and consider how the different ethical theories we have studied would apply. One goal should be to look at both sides and especially the side that opposes your own view. Can you make good moral sense of it even if you disagree?

Questions:

1. Explain how this case illustrates the tension between the two types of standards for informed consent. (In other words, why might one standard suggest there was informed consent and the other not?)

2. Which of the standards did the court go with, and do you agree with its decision?

3. As a patient, would you want a physician to order a controversial but benign test for you without first discussing its risks, benefits, and alternatives with you?

4. Who should bear responsibility when the risks accepted in a difficult situation come to fruition?
