Abstract
|
|
|
|
Patient consenting is regarded as a very important process in the medical field. Hence, the adult guardianship, stipulated in the Civil Law, will introduce a new code regarding self-decision of incompetent patients. The new system, which is to respect welfare and rights of incompetent patients, bears the possibility of collision with existing medical-related specials laws. Thus, it should secure procedural justification to avoid the conflict with guardians’ duties and patients’ rights. In order to attain the goals of the new system, we should ensure that the new system is realistic and feasible based on detailed analysis of existing conditions, and thorough preparation is required to put it in practice in the field.
