Comment on Doctors Remove Woman’s Brain Implant Against Her Will
ShepherdPie@midwest.social 3 weeks agoI’m sure if she revoked the informed consent they never would have done the implant to begin with. It’s an experimental procedure so you kind of need to agree to being expiramented on to participate.

You can revoke your informed consent agreement at any time, including after a study has concluded, though it doesn’t usually do you much good. it specifically means that you no longer agree to understanding the risks and benefits.

I found a paper that someone wrote on the subject and it appears that the woman did consent to having it removed, though she ultimately did wish she could have kept it. From the OPs article, it sounds like she was forced to have the craniotomy against her will which isn’t the case.
