Onora O'Neill on medical consent

Here's a delightful, albeit short, interview with Onora O'Neill on the topic of medical consent: http://nigelwarburton.typepad.com/philosophy_bites/2007/10/onora-oneill-on.html

She happens to be one of my favorite contemporary philosophers. On the subject matter covered here, please see her Rethinking Informed Consent in Bioethics (Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press, 2007).

I love O'Neill. Her book on trust and bioethics is a must-read. I'm stumbling over myself to read her take on consent, as I have some serious issues with it, or at least with its prominence in bioethics discourse.

I came to O'Neill by way of her work on Kant and her book, Towards Justice and Virtue: A Constructive Account of Practical Reasoning (1996). I'm now making it a point to read her other stuff related to bioethics.

I should have mentioned that O'Neill's book is co-authored with Neil C. Manson.
