Informed consent
Informed consent is a process for getting permission before conducting a healthcare intervention on a person. A health care provider may ask a patient to consent to receive therapy before providing it, or a clinical researcher may ask a research participant before enrolling that person into a clinical trial. Informed consent is collected according to guidelines from the fields of medical ethics and research ethics. This term was first used in a 1957 medical malpractice case by Paul G. Gebhard.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Informed consent
