 Regardless of either the exact meaning of autonomy or the extent to which autonomy is good for us, grounding informed consent in autonomy turns out to be difficult. First, autonomous decision making over all matters that heavily affect one’s health is not something to which any patient has a right. Organ waitlists, for instance, can be perfectly legitimate even when some patients demand in full voluntariness the next available organ and autonomously refuse to wait in line. Just because receiving the organ would serve their autonomous wills does not make it their right to obtain organs designated to others ahead of them on the list without interference. Admittedly, the autonomy rationale may here be conjoined with a clarification as to which matters concerning patients’ health they have a right to determine. But for some that right would then be the reason why their consent is required, when it is required (McConnell 2018), potentially making any further reference to autonomy redundant.
