    with Joseph Vukov, Sarah Khan, Sydney Samoska, Marley Hornewer, and Kit Rempala
    American Journal of Bioethics Neuroscience 11 (3): 217-218. 2020.

(2020) effectively address how factors such as time limitations, stress, and illness severity in acute conditions warrant a deeper evaluation of how current consent processes serve patients. While data suggests that patients “prefer to be asked for permission upfront rather than waiving consent” (2), consent forms themselves “are frequently long and technical, follow rigid templates, and contain language that appears to prioritize institutional protection” (1). Such findings eluci…Read more
