One aspect of informed consent is the disclosure of information that a reasonable patient might require to make a knowledgeable decision.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard was released from a Missouri prison Dec. 28 after serving eight years for the murder of her mother in response to lengthy medical abuse. Blanchard's mother had led both her daughter and the world to believe that Blanchard was ill and disabled growing up: afflicted with leukemia and muscular dystrophy, and in need of a wheelchair and a feeding tube.
