The current doctrine of informed consent falls far short of its potential to serve as a valuable safeguard for human research subjects. Instead of providing a channel of communication between physician and subject, informed consent is a lifeless entity responsible for a large portion of the misunderstanding existing between these parties. Acknowledging risk perception principles may help transform the informed consent process into an effective communication of health risks.
当前的知情同意原则远未发挥其作为人类研究对象重要保障措施的潜力。知情同意并非是在医生与研究对象之间提供沟通渠道，而是一个毫无生气的实体，它要为双方之间现存的大部分误解负责。承认风险认知原则可能有助于将知情同意过程转变为对健康风险的有效沟通。
