Abstract

A court decision that admitted the patient’s right to decide with regard to his body took the American medical world by surprise in 1914. After decades of silence, the decision of a judge who asked the doctor to share the decision with the patient marked the beginning of a change in the communication pattern between them. Today, the culture of human rights, the wide access to medical information, the risks involved by the new technologies impose a permanent re-adjustment of the doctor-patient relationships and of the relationship between medicine and law. The analysis of the jurisprudence of international courts attempted in this paper may provide a few hints in this direction.
