"Informed consent" originates as a medical term where doctors made known to
patients the benefits and risks of treatment options. The adaption of
"informed consent" to other areas is problematic, especially when the
requirement is to know "the full consequences" of a behavior. That's an
impossible standard to uphold, and lends itself to excuse for prohibition.
Do you know the "full consequences" when driving into town (watch out for
that runaway dump truck!), when you board an airplane (will the wings fall
off?) ... and are these activities avoided because you can't provide
"informed consent" (i.e. knowledge of full consequences)?
Do you expect Pamela Anderson and Brittney Spears to provide "informed
consent" when their images are downloaded and viewed? Surely (don't call me
Shirley) they each are damaged everytime someone looks!
You can't be selective in your application of "informed consent" unless you
are a hypocrite.
