The article discusses the historical, ethical, and legal aspects of an informed consent doctrine involving patients and physicians, and it mentions an individual's informed choice, a patient's right to refuse medical treatment, and the trials involving Nazi physicians in Nuremberg, Germany in the 1940s.
