Informed consent is one of the fundamental tools for ensuring individuals’ autonomy in making decisions that affect their bodies, their health, and their rights. This book offers a comprehensive analysis of the concept from a practical and jurisprudential perspective, addressing not only medical liability but also the many areas in which consent takes on legal significance.
The book examines current issues such as medical trials on human subjects, euthanasia, transplants, childhood and gender dysphoria, obstetric violence, surrogacy, the disposition of gametes and embryos, and consent in criminal matters. Drawing on case law from Argentina, the European Court of Human Rights, the United States, Canada, Israel, and other countries, the book offers a comparative approach and practical tools for legal and healthcare professionals, including informed consent forms.
