    Area of Science:

    • Bioethics
    • Medical Ethics
    • Trust in Healthcare

    Background:

    • Informed consent is increasingly defended as crucial for maintaining trust in medical professionals and institutions.
    • The trust-promotion argument posits that protecting this trust justifies standard informed consent requirements.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the 'ideal type' of the trust-promotion argument for informed consent.
    • To identify and discuss challenges to this argument, evaluating its sufficiency in justifying informed consent.

    Main Methods:

    • Conceptual analysis of the trust-promotion argument for informed consent.
    • Examination of the relationship between social trust, medical decision-making, and ethical requirements.

    Main Results:

    • The trust-promotion argument initially appears promising for justifying informed consent.
    • However, the value of trust alone does not fully align with common sense intuitions about informed consent.

    Conclusions:

    • The trust-promotion argument for informed consent faces significant challenges.
    • Revisions to the argument, common sense morality, or both may be necessary to adequately account for informed consent principles.
