    Area of Science:

    • Medical Ethics
    • Clinical Research Ethics

    Background:

    • Informed consent is a cornerstone of ethical medical research.
    • Participants frequently base consent decisions on trust in researchers rather than solely on provided information.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate if trust-based consent is morally inferior to information-based consent.
    • To analyze the protection of core ethical values (autonomy, voluntariness, non-manipulation, non-exploitation) in both consent models.

    Main Methods:

    • Conceptual analysis of moral values essential for valid consent.
    • Comparative assessment of information-based versus trust-based consent regarding ethical principles.

    Main Results:

    • Trust-based consent adequately protects and promotes essential moral values.
    • Autonomy, voluntariness, non-manipulation, and non-exploitation are upheld in trust-based consent.

    Conclusions:

    • Trust-based consent is not morally inferior to information-based consent in medical research.
    • Ethical validity of consent can be achieved through trust in the research enterprise.
