History of Informed Consent

In 1767: Slater V.Baker & Stapleton was the person who said that “…it is reasonable that a patient should be told what is about to be done to him.”

In 1898: Osler, William said “To deliberately inject a poison of known high degree of virulency into a human being, unless you obtain a man’s sanction…is criminal.” (In response to an oral presentation by Giuseppe Sanarelli on discovery of the etiologic agent of yellow fever)
