    Background:

    • The principle of informed consent is central to ethical medical practice and research involving human subjects.
    • Current interpretations and applications of informed consent face significant challenges and scrutiny.
    • Debates persist regarding the adequacy of informed consent as a cornerstone for bioethical policy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To critically analyze the concept of informed consent in both research and clinical settings.
    • To investigate the current crisis surrounding the interpretation and implementation of informed consent.
    • To assess the future relevance and potential limitations of informed consent in bioethical decision-making and doctor-patient dynamics.

    Main Methods:

    • Conceptual analysis of "informed consent" in bioethics.
    • Examination of contemporary challenges in applying informed consent criteria.
    • Exploration of the role of informed consent in policy-making and clinical practice.

    Main Results:

    • The article identifies a crisis in the elaboration and interpretation of informed consent.
    • It questions the continued meaningfulness and viability of informed consent for complex bioethical policy.
    • The study suggests a potentially uncertain future for informed consent in doctor-patient relations.

    Conclusions:

    • The traditional understanding and application of informed consent are under significant strain.
    • Rethinking the role and limitations of informed consent is crucial for future bioethical policy.
    • The future prognosis for informed consent in clinical practice warrants careful consideration and potentially new frameworks.
