In fact, earlier on, I was talking more about the right to opt out rather than a requirement to register, that is to say that all women would be registered by default and not that they would have to register in order to participate. The purpose is not to know why they would want to opt out, but to consider all women to have registered, and allow them to opt out for a variety of reasons. My understanding is that you are in favour of this principle.
In view of all the problems you mentioned today, do you think that Health Canada should create a proper consent form containing all of the information, as well as the surgeon's and the patient's signatures, as evidence that the patient gave her informed consent and was informed of all the risks associated with the implants?
