presumable will (of a patient) Explanation: the litteral translation for Willensäußerung would be "volition or declaration of one´s will", but in the present context none of these terms seems to fit. that´s why I would suggest der vermutliche Wille. |

10 hrs confidence:
implied consent Explanation: Please see the link below which explains everything. Normally a person would have to give their informed consent before agreeing to take part in clinical trials but there are some circumstances in whic consent may be presumed. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 hrs (2009-10-17 09:39:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The link above is from an Irish website. This explains the broad principles in a simple way but if you Google "implied consent" you will find that most developed countries have a similar system of consent to treatment. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 hrs (2009-10-17 09:43:33 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- the term "presumed consent" is also used- see Google Reference: http://www.citizensinformation.ie/categories/health/legal-ma... |

12 hrs confidence:
presumed consent Explanation: See notes and google searches in my answer under "implied consent". You may feel that presumed consent is closer to the German and fits the regulations of a particular jurisdiction better. I do not think there is essentially a major difference between the two terms. |

inferred consent/hypothetical consent/implied consent/ Explanation: Students of the law also spend a great deal of time studying other sorts of transactions—transactions marked by implied consent, hypothetical consent, or varieties of non-consent. Ran: Hypothetical consent is consent premised on what someone *would* agree. Courts have thus afforded recovery to doctors who operate on unconscious accident victims on grounds that the victims "would have agreed" to pay for such care. But, of course, if the patient wakes up and tells the doctor to lay off, no claim for recovery will stand. Prof. Bell: Thanks for explaining. Oddly, when I was training to be an emergency medical technician (EMT), we used "implied consent" for exactly the situation you're describing. (Maybe "inferred consent" would have been more accurate: an unconscious patient couldn't really imply anything, but that didn't stop us from inferring.) More generally, we used "implied consent" in reference to circumstances wherein an EMT is legally expected to act without a patient's informed consent; it could also apply in a case where a patient was known not to be competent to decide whether to receive a treatment. (Of course, since EMTs can't make diagnoses, and aren't qualified to judge a patient's competence, that's a much less uncommon occurrence than patients' being unconscious.) http://agoraphilia.blogspot.com/2007/05/scale-of-consent.htm... |
