The Asian Studies Consortium: An Innovative Approach To Study In Japan, Susan Coleman, James L. Narduzzi, Jonathan Lawson, Guy Colarruli

Personal autonomy-an individual's power to choose among medical options-enjoys its most zealous protection under U.S. jurisprudence.⁷ The dominant U.S. version of informed consent is grounded on principles of patient/consumer autonomy, and seems to enhance market choice.
