The quality of the consent obtained from 41 volunteer subjects in eight experiments is evaluated. Five subjects (all physicians) gave informed consent; 22 subjects gave partially informed consent; and 14 subjects merely gave consent. It is argued that 'informed' consent is obtainable only from medically trained people, and that lip service to this concept in laymen should cease. The concept of medical competence should instead be introduced and a personal medical referee appointed to adjudicate on behalf of the volunteer.
对八项实验中41名志愿者受试者所获同意的质量进行了评估。五名受试者（均为医生）给出了知情同意；22名受试者给出了部分知情同意；14名受试者只是给出了同意。有人认为，“知情”同意只能从受过医学培训的人那里获得，对外行提及这一概念应停止流于形式。相反，应引入医疗能力的概念，并指定一名个人医疗仲裁人代表志愿者进行裁决。
