ABSTRACT
In this chapter I outline the procedural constraints for valid consent: that the consent is voluntary, informed, and decisionally competent. I argue that the strength of each of these requirements ought to vary with context, or it will turn out that our consents are invalid more frequently than we might otherwise have thought. I end the entry with the suggestion that, even when the three conditions for valid consent are met, the validity of a consent may be insufficient for it to be morally transformative.
