Study questions: Brody, "Transparency: Informed Consent in
Primary Care"
1. What are the "community practice" and "reasonable patient"
standards of informed consent?
What problems does Brody raise for
these standards?
2. What is the "transparency" standard of informed consent that
Brody defends? Why does
Brody think that this standard is better than others
for implementing informed consent?
3. What problems might remain for Brody's "transparency"
model? How might Brody try to
address or respond to these problems?
