- Summary
-
The patient is no longer only a patient, he participates in the choice of the treatment he receives. For law as for ethics, the medical decision requires the free and informed consent of the person who receives the treatment and accepts the consequences. But is this legal position so easily applicable? The obstacles that compromise the autonomy of the patient and his participation in the medical decision are multiple: technical, epistemic, psychological, legal, ethical. The analysis of the strength and the limits of these difficulties is the subject of a plural and demanding reflection on the part of jurists, doctors, philosophers, psychologists.
