“Public health ethics, together with basic human rights law, are based around the primacy of freedom of choice, otherwise considered the necessity of informed consent. While prominent arguments have been raised against bodily autonomy in the past few years, there are very good reasons why power in medicine was held to be with the individual patient rather than the practitioner. Firstly, when people are given power over others, they commonly misuse it.” (02/10/25)
