Abstract		Infomed consent is the consent of the person (the patient), by which he or she agrees to carry out a certain medical operation on his or her body. The consent is based on the full disclosure - the explanation of the facts that are necessary to reach a reasonable decision. lnformed consent developed in legal practice wlthin the American legal and medical practice that respects very much the individual autonomy and is based on ideas that the individual has the right to be free of interventions in his or her person, with which he or she does not agree, and the basic moral principle that itis not allowed to force anybody to an act against his or her will. The essence of informed consent is within the doctor's duty to explain. Based on the precedent ruling "Canterbury vs. Spence", the doctor has to explain the following facts. I. the diagnosis and all further steps of treatment; 2. the nature and the purpose of the treatment; 3. the risk of the treatment and; 4. alternative methods.
