| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated on obtaining informed consent (IC) from patients in neurosurgical department who had consciousness disturbance. Even before invasive surgery, most of signatures of patients were done by family members as if genuinely performed by the patients. This practice was not in accordance with the right of self-determination supported by the civil law in Japan. And Japanese legal system concerning medical consent seemed premature compared to those of USA and Canada. We hope early legislative proceedings in this field.
