ABSTRACT

Informed consent is an active process of communication that includes decision making and shared responsibilities between physician and patient. It is a key point in clinical practice and aims to protect the patient from other potential interests. The assent of the child, once the responsible persons have consented, and the rights of the child to ask questions and to discuss are two issues of great significance in scientific research in children.
