Informed consent stems from the legal and ethical right an individual has to decide what is done to his or her body, and from the physician's ethical duty to make sure that individuals are involved in decisions about their own health care.
Informed consent or free consent is permission granted to another person to perform services such as treatment for medical care. Both verbal and nonverbal communication counts as informed or free consent.
The result of informed consent is greater safety and protection for patients, physicians, and society.
Informed non-consent is the refusing of a procedure while being fully informed of the risks to health and the possible outcome of the patients decision.
