Organ donors are in high demand.  Frequently intended recipients can wait a lifetime for the critical matching organ.  In this case, two nurses obtained a consent from a child's mother.  When the father later expressed his disagreement, the child's corneas had been harvested and it was too late.

Alabama Eye Bank, 727 S. 2d 62 –AL (1999) http://www.nursingentrepreneurs.com/clinical.cases/062099.htm ****************************************************** ****************************************************** Be Informed: Questions To Ask Your Doctor Before You Have Surgery: Agency for Health Care Policy and Research, AHCPR, Rockville, MD. ****************************************************** Informed Consent, Parental Permission, and Assent in Pediatric Practice, American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP):"The statement on informed consent, parental permission, and patient assent has a long and extraordinary history. The first draft of this document, prepared by William G. Bartholome, MD, was presented to the original American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Committee on Bioethics in 1985. Bill put his soul into the manuscript and has watched over it carefully ever since. Now, a decade later, those who have worked on its continued development and urged its adoption as Academy policy applaud its publication. No one is more gratified than its primary author and champion. Those who have had the privilege to know Dr Bartholome share his sense of accomplishment, but cannot help but experience a cruel sense of irony. Just as the work Bill considers his most important contribution has become available for public appreciation, Dr Bartholome suffers from a serious illness that threatens his life."

The documentation of informed consent must comply with 45 CFR 46.117. The following comments may help in the development of an approach and proposed language by investigators for obtaining consent and its approval by IRBs: Informed consent is a process, not just a form. Information must be presented to enable persons to voluntarily decide whether or not to participate as a research subject. It is a fundamental mechanism to ensure respect for persons through provision of thoughtful consent for a voluntary act. The procedures used in obtaining informed consent should be designed to educate the subject population in terms that they can understand. Therefore, informed consent language and its documentation (especially explanation of the study's purpose, duration, experimental procedures, alternatives, risks, and benefits) must be written in "lay language", (i.e. understandable to the people being asked to participate). The written presentation of information is used to document the basis for consent and for the subjects' future reference. The consent document should be revised when deficiencies are noted or when additional information will improve the consent process."
