患者知情同意权保护的困境——医学伦理与法律理论的割裂

Dilemma of Patient Informed Consent Rights Protection—— The Separation of Medical Ethics and Legal Theory

对"知情同意"的认知同时存在于医学伦理与法律理论中,两者虽一定程度上共享同一个词汇,却拥有不同的历史源流,且在两种语境下使用方式的不一致产生了极大的分歧,并在现实中引发了诸多矛盾。鉴此,厘清两者产生分歧的原因以及集中冲突的领域——而非仅仅关注于制度设计,极有必要。

The cognition of informed consent exists in medical ethics and law theory, though sharing the same word to some extent, they have different historical origin, and different usage in two different context produces great differences, and has caused many contradictions in reality. In this context, it is extremely necessary to clarify the causes of the differences and focus on the areas of conflict rather than just focus on institutional design.
