The Principle of Informed Consent
Are you getting what you need to make informed medical decisions for yourself?
TGIF World!
Sorry this is going out a bit late today. We’ve been preparing for company this afternoon and discovered that our home plumbing decided to back up on both sides of the house, right on que!
So, now with that out of the way… Today’s podcast covers a vitally important topic regarding a fundamental principle in healthcare, especially in the covid/post-covid era. Informed consent is relatively new in the history of medicine, only being regarded as a principle since the Nuremberg Code was written following the “Doctor’s trials” component of the Nuremberg trials in 1947. These trials revealed the horrific inhuman medical experimentation performed on concentration camp victims at the hands of German Nazi doctors like Joseph Mengele, and emphasized the need for a universally applied charter detailing the rights of free, sovereign people to be fully informed prior to any medical intervention, experimental or otherwise, and to proceed with or decline therapy based on a full understanding of the risks and benefits of the proposed intervention, and their alternatives.
We also discuss how this lines up with the principle of freedom and how the practical application of informed consent has essentially disappeared during the last few years (certainly in America), especially with the new medications and vaccines (non-vaccine gene therapies) that were created to deal with covid and are now revealing an unprecedented amount of harm globally. Today’s topic is vitally important for all people, but especially for those of us who desire to live free and make our own decisions. Listen to the podcast linked below to get a more nuanced understanding of Informed Consent and apply it to your life now!
God bless you all,
