   Consent
   The general legal and ethical principle is that valid consent must ‘usually` be obtained before starting treatment or physical investigation or providing personal care for a patient. This principle reflects the right of a patient to determine what happens to his or her own body and is a fundamental part of good medical practice. Before a ‘medic` can examine or treat a patient, they ‘usually` need his or her consent, given ‘voluntarily`, and the patient must ‘understand` what is involved.

Defendants who use this defense are arguing that they should not be held liable for a tort or a crime, since the actions in question were taken with the plaintiff or `victim's` consent and permission.
