[quoted from here](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3205813/)

Where is the fair-minded risk-to-knowledge analysis in the panel’s deliberations or its conclusion? A patient has a right to determine what shall be done to his or her body, as well as what shall not be done to it.

The freedom I claim is implied in an extract of the decision by Justice Sydney Robins in an Ontario Court of Appeal case, *Fleming v Reid*,[2](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3205813/#ref2) quoted in a publication of the Canadian Medical Protective Association.[3](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3205813/#ref3) There, Justice Robins said:

> **The right to determine what shall, or shall not, be done with one’s own body**, and to be free from non-consensual medical treatment, **is a right deeply rooted in our common law**. This right underlines the doctrine of informed consent. With very limited exceptions, **every person’s body is considered inviolate**, and, accordingly, **every competent adult has the right to be free from unwanted medical treatment. The fact that serious risks or consequences may result from a refusal of medical treatment does not vitiate the right of medical self-determination**. **The doctrine of informed consent ensures the freedom of individuals to make choices about their medical care. It is the patient,** not the physician, **who ultimately must decide if treatment — any treatment — is to be administered.**
