All individuals have certain inalienable rights: informed consent and bodily autonomy being two of them.
Informed consent is the right to grant permission to undergo a medical procedure only after receiving accurate, up-to-date and unbiased information about its risks and benefits.
Bodily autonomy is the right to make decisions pertaining to one’s body and health.
