Document Summary

Two sides of paternalism (beneficent vs. coercive) Weak paternalism (acting for others when they are not capable of acting for themselves) More than half said yes : maybe people aren"t incapable of making decisions, just are so coerced by the lucrative prize. Principle of informed consent: person must be competent to consent, adequate information must be presented, the consent must be voluntary. Charlie krueger example: if he had known the risks of playing, he would have never played. To fail to provide the athlete information or to take the time to explain what is happening or what the options are is to rob the individual of autonomy . Team physician is required by law to inform athlete of consequences and risks of all options. [so do you allow the athlete to make their own decision until they make a decision you don"t agree with, then step in and say that they are incapable of acting for themselves?]
