Ans) Some maintain that voluntariness is a value-neutral concept. On that view, someone acts involuntarily if subject to a controlling influence or has no acceptable alternatives.
- I argue that a value-neutral conception of voluntariness cannot explain when and why consent is invalid and that we need a moralized account of voluntariness. On that view, most concerns about the voluntariness of consent to participate in research are not well founded.
- The principal theoretical aim of this paper is not to resolve the question as to whether consent is voluntary and valid in one case or another but to argue that no value-neutral theory of voluntariness is going to answer such a question.
- If we adopt a value-neutral account of voluntariness along the lines of “no acceptable alternative” or “controlling influence,” then we will be forced to abandon the validity requires voluntariness principle and will have to determine whether and when we should regard involuntary consent as valid.
- We can retain our allegiance to the validity requires voluntariness principle by adopting a moralized account of voluntariness in which the voluntariness of a subject’s consent turns on the legitimacy of the means by which her consent is solicited.
- Either way, the question as to whether we should regard consent as valid will turn on moral analysis.
- It may be argued, however, that my moralized account of involuntariness involves a form of circularity. On the standard picture, an involuntariness claim supports a moral claim about the validity of B’s consent. On a moralized account, we effectively use a moral judgment as to whether B’s consent should be regarded as valid to determine we should accept an involuntariness claim.
- And so, it seems that a moralized account of voluntariness involves a form of circularity: (1) If consent is involuntary, then consent is invalid; (2) If consent should be valid, then consent is not involuntary.
- The argument is not strictly circular because involuntariness requires involuntarinessdescriptive is a necessary but not sufficient condition of involuntariness consent. Still, the circularity objection is partly correct. But I don’t think that this circularity can be avoided. At the end of the day, the determination as to whether B’s consent should be regarded as invalid is a moral question to be resolved by moral argument and cannot be resolved by appeal to a value-neutral account of voluntariness.
What are some constraints on voluntariness in informed consent? Can they be avoided? Can anyone truly...
Health care Ethics What are the components of informed consent, and can consent ever be completely free? (“The President's Commission for the Study of Ethical Problems in Medicine and Biomedical and Behavioral Research” is essential to answering these questions.)
Anyone involved in the informed consent process should comprehend the concepts of understanding, voluntariness, disclosure, and comprehension. Understanding means that a consent form must be presented and written in a language which the subject understands. Why is this concept important? What are some issues that may arise with this concept?
What are some issues around an informed consent and how can they be resolved? Thank for you help.
Question 14 Generally, medical providers must obtain informed consent for any treatment. But some special conditions create an exception, so that informed consent is not needed for treatment. Which of the following conditions, on its own and without other special requirements, is sufficient to make such an exception? The patient has previously agreed to other treatments, and generally has done everything their medical providers have told them they needed to do. The treatment is widely accepted as normal, such as...

Describe the constraints that may act as rate controllers for specific locomotor activities. How can a teacher or therapist manipulate task constraints to help a child acquire the skill of galloping? What are some of the ways in which humans can move from place to place (without equipment)? Which ones are not currently observed in adults? Why are these locomotor forms rarely used? What movement characteristics might you see in an older adult who is galloping? Why?
