Consent secured by force or threat of force is not acceptable, nor is consent extracted from someone who is under the influence of drugs. Mere economic duress, however, is not sufficient to obliterate an otherwise valid consent, but this conclusion is increasingly under attack. ... Young children cannot give a valid consent. Their parents must do so on their behalf. ... In Johnston v. Wellesley Hospital, a 20-year-old underwent an acne treatment by a dermatologist when the age of majority was 21 years. The court held that the consent was operative because the plaintiff was capable of fully appreciating the nature and consequences of the treatment and could, therefore, validly agree to it. 2, record 2, English, - valid%20consent

There are four basic requirements of valid consent: (1) it must be voluntary; (2) it must be given by a person with capacity to consent; (3) it must refer to both the treatment and the provider of the treatment; and, finally, (4) it must be informed. 3, record 2, English, - valid%20consent

Le consentement obtenu par la force ou des menaces d'utilisation de la force n'est pas valide. Il en est de même du consentement arraché à une personne qui est sous l'influence de médicaments. Les simples pressions économiques ne suffisent cependant pas à vicier un consentement par ailleurs valide, mais il faut reconnaître que ce principe est de plus en plus contesté. [...] Les jeunes enfants ne peuvent pas donner un consentement valide. Leurs parents doivent le faire à leur place. [...] Dans Johnston V. Wellesley Hospital, une personne de 20 ans avait subi un traitement contre l'acné administré par un dermatologue alors que l'âge de la majorité était de 21 ans. Le tribunal a décidé que le consentement était valide parce que le demandeur avait la capacité d'apprécier pleinement la nature et les conséquences du traitement et pouvait, par conséquent, donner un consentement valide. 2, record 2, French, - consentement%20valide
