Informed consent signifies one of the protections in studies on mental illness. Consent is a procedure that permits for the free choice by a knowledgeable and competent person to or not to partake in investigative procedures. Capacity for consent is not a stationary experience. It can transform with the circumstance of the person. The theory of informed consent was established on two distinctive legal philosophies.

This article was very easy to read and attempted to break the subject matter down into everyday language in order to maintain clarity.

Informed consent laws have been put into place in order to protect people when they are used as subjects for testing purposes.

Applicability
This article is very applicable to the world today. It is important that those who do drug testing know what the law is and how it relates to those whom they are testing. New drugs are being invented all the time and these new drugs need to be tested in order to ensure that they are safe to be used. If drug testing is not done legally and ethically then there is no guarantee that the results being reported are even valid. When it comes to drugs and how they are used to treat people it is vitally important to make sure that they are as safe as possible and this can only be done by way of legal and ethical drug testing.

Laws invariably impact scope of care and scope of practice. Many scope of care-related laws are designed to protect the interest of patients and/or consumers. Similar to jurisdiction debates in law enforcement, scope of care issues in healthcare highlight the ways each professional dimension or area of specialization is bounded by "turf battles," even when those battles may adversely impact quality of care (National Council of State Boards of Nursing,
