In place of consent as permission-giving, waiver, or autonomous authorization (the standard approaches), this book imagines consent as an ongoing mutual commitment, i.e. as covenant consent. The covenant consent model highlights the need for a durable personal relationship between the patient/subject and the care provider/researcher. Such a relationship is crucial given the recovery period of 5 years or more for VCA recipients. The case for covenant consent is made by first examining the field of vascularized composite allotransplantation, the history and present understandings of consent in health care, and the history and use of the covenant concept from its origins through its applications to health care ethics today. This book explains how standard approaches to consent are inadequate in light of the particular features of facial and upper limb transplantation. In contrast, use of the covenant concept creates a consent model that is more appropriate ethically for these very complex surgeries and long-term recoveries.International Library of Ethics, Law, and the New Medicine,1567-8008 ;73BioethicsSurgical transplantationHealth—Religious aspectsBioethicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E14010Transplant Surgeryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H59117Religion and Healthhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A8010Bioethics.Surgical transplantation.Health—Religious aspects.Bioethics.Transplant Surgery.Religion and Health.617.52059Benedict James Lauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut903156MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910255218103321A Revised Consent Model for the Transplantation of Face and Upper Limbs: Covenant Consent2018941UNINA
