Information waivers: reply to Strasser.


 Ost contends that Mark Strasser, in "Mill and the right to remain uninformed" (Journal of Medicine and Philosophy 1986 Aug; 11(3): 265-278), has "missed the point" of Ost's argument in an earlier article ("The 'right' not to know," Journal of Medicine and Philosophy 1984 Aug; 9(3): 301-312). Ost argues that the cases cited by Strasser do not establish a right not to know but only constitute conditions under which one would reasonably be excused from one's obligation to know. He amplifies his response by maintaining that there are obligations to foster patient participation in decision making, as well as obligations to be autonomous and informed.
