not that I agree with all aspects of what the UN promotes, but they have to at least admit that it is an important issue that resonates with many

In his recent report for the United Nations General Assembly, Special Rapporteur Anand Grover emphasizes that informed consent should be a fundamental practice in a rights-based approach to health. He describes informed consent as “not mere acceptance of medical intervention, but a voluntary and sufficiently informed decision, protecting the right of the patient to be involved in medical decision-making, and assigning associated duties and obligations to health-care providers. Its ethical and legal normative justifications stem from its promotion of patient autonomy, self-determination, bodily integrity and well-being.”

This seems to be the most obvious example of this, but there are many other alleged cases. Many people in Africa simple do not trust western doctors who visit Africa with all their medicines

Some 130,000 Ethiopians, most of them Jewish, live in Israel. The community experiences higher poverty and unemployment rates than the rest of the country's Jewish population. In the past decade, the birth rate among Ethiopian-Israelis has declined by at least 20 percent. Advocacy groups now claim this decline is the result of a birth control regimen forced upon Ethiopian immigrant women.

One state ruled they could compel a swedish man to be vaccinated for smallpox and later apparently used the same reasoning of law to forcibly sterilize people.
What a statement by a Judge ! ! ! Holy Crap ! Maybe this same reasoning could be applied to useless old people sitting around in nursing homes and costing society money.
This was actually a supreme court decision by Oliver Wendell Holmes.
I think I heard about this before. The woman here who was sterilized was supposedly depressed at the time but they claimed she was an imbecile
Anyway, an example of damn good reason to maintained informed consent

In Buck v Bell (1927),26 Holmes ruled that the state of Virginia could use police power to protect the public health by involuntarily sterilizing a poor 17-year old single mother, Carrie Buck, who state officials had incorrectly judged to be morally unfit and mentally retarded – in effect, genetically defective - just like they said Carrie’s daughter and mother were.27
In one of the most chilling statements in American jurisprudence, Holmes declared, “It is better for the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime, or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind.
The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes. Three generations of imbeciles are enough! ”
