Instead, consent should be viewed as a patient’s cherished possession, which he or she may choose to relinquish, if presented with a sufficiently compelling case. Consent should not be snatched away, like a train ticket held out for the conductor.
相反，同意应该被视为患者的一项宝贵权利，患者可以放弃这项权利，如果他遇到足够确定的情况的话。同意不应该被剥夺，就像火车票被检票员拿走一样。
