Abstract:
The operation signature regulation in force in China means giving the right of signature agreeing to the operation to a third party including the patients family. This kind of practice not only goes against the principle of informed consent and relevant regulations as stipulated in the General Rules of the Civil Law of the Peoples Republic of China and the Contract Law of the Peoples Republic of China, but is also likely to cause medical disputes. For this reason, the signatory right agreeing to the operation ought to belong to the patient himself unless it is a legal matter.
