The traditional concept of "informed" consent may be too restrictive; "valid" consent may be a more manageable criterion. Norway's 1999 Patients' Rights Act comes into force on Jan 1, 2001. This essay asks if this new legislation is compatible with this concept of valid consent--and concludes that it is.
传统的“知情”同意概念可能限制过多;“有效”同意或许是一个更易于操作的标准。挪威1999年的《患者权利法案》于2001年1月1日生效。本文探讨这项新立法是否符合有效同意这一概念,并得出结论认为它是符合的。
