Abstract

This essay is clarifying, descriptive and argumentative, whose main objective is to demonstrate the importance of informed consent, which acts as a guarantee for the deployment of the right to health. The essay methodologies are: exegetical to demonstrate and understand the importance of the principle of autonomy and the informed consent principle in the legal system, and in the doctor- patient relationship. It also uses the comparative and the case brief method to examine two resolutions: one of the InterAmerican human rights Court and another of the ECHR, to show that the Informent consent in the daily practice can be decontextualized violating human rights.
