    Area of Science:

    • Medical Ethics
    • Patient Autonomy
    • Informed Consent

    Background:

    • Patient autonomy is a cornerstone of modern medicine, often interpreted as physician noninterference.
    • Illness significantly impacts a patient's ability to provide informed consent due to physical and psychological distress, including fear and anxiety.
    • The traditional emphasis on noninterference may not adequately address the complexities of informed consent in the context of serious illness.
