Informed Consent (Did You Give Yours?)

The primary offense that is resulting from everyone hearing the voices, music and other sounds/noises is that they are hearing them via a method other than their ears. The state of Delaware allowed the activation of an advanced experimental weapons system which subjected everyone to experimentation and thereby violated the Constitution and international agreements and treaties. Was anyone informed prior to its activation that they would be involved in program that was experimental and was their written informed consent obtained? If not then the law was broken and those responsible can be prosecuted. If those men who lost their lives as a result of being coerced into self harm were notified in advanced then it is highly unlikely that they would have fallen victim to the urgings of the perps (guards) who were at the controls. The Nuremberg Code, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,  the Helsinki Declaration, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the National Research Act are just a few of the safeguards and guidelines that have been implemented to protect Human Beings from being used as test subjects without their knowledge or consent and they have been agreed to by the United States but are openly ignored by governmental agencies who are doing the experimentation on citizens and non citizens with and without their knowledge.  So when you hear the music, voices or sounds intercranially, have the artificially induced dreams, the sudden itching on your head or elsewhere and/or see visual images that you know you should not be able to see ponder this, Did I give them my written informed consent to subject me to these different effects and sensations? Since you did not sign on for this then your civil rights are being violated and we know beyond the shadow of a doubt that the state of Delaware and it's Department of Corrections are responsible and need to let us know which agency they activated this for. We also did not agree to allow the Department of Corrections  to receive more than $13,000,000 of our tax money and not spend it as it was designated. If Stan Taylor had automated what he said then Jermaine Wilson would be alive as well as a number of other young men who were subjected to the misuse of this system and consequently suffered the lost of their lives.       Dannie Moore

Informed consent is a legal condition whereby a person can be said to have given consent based upon a clear appreciation and understanding of the facts, implications and future consequences of an action. In order to give informed consent, the individual concerned must have adequate reasoning faculties and be in possession of all relevant facts at the time consent is given. Impairments to reasoning and judgement which would make it impossible for someone to give informed consent include such factors as severemental retardation, severe mental illnessintoxication, severe sleep deprivationAlzheimer's disease, or being in a coma.

Some acts cannot legally take place because of a lack of informed consent. In cases where an individual is considered unable to give informed consent, another person is generally authorized to give consent on his behalf, e.g., parents or legal guardians of a child and caregivers for the mentally ill. However, if a severely injured person is brought to hospital in an unconscious state and no-one is available to give informed consent, doctors will give whatever treatment is necessary to save his life (according to theHippocratic oath), which might involve major surgery, e.g., amputation.

In cases where an individual is provided insufficient information to form a reasoned decision, serious ethical issues arise. Such cases in a clinical trial in medical research are anticipated and prevented by anethics committee or Institutional Review Board.

[edit]Assessment of consent

Informed consent can be complex to evaluate, because neither expressions of consent, nor expressions of understanding of implications, necessarily mean that full adult consent was in fact given, nor that full comprehension of relevant issues is internally digested. Consent may be implied within the usual subtleties of human communication, rather than explicitly negotiated verbally or in writing. In some cases consent cannot legally be possible, even if the person protests he does indeed understand and wish. There are also structured instruments for evaluating capacity to give informed consent, although no ideal instrument presently exists.

There is thus always a degree to which informed consent must be assumed or inferred based upon observation, or knowledge, or legal reliance. This especially is the case in sexual or relational issues. In medical or formal circumstances explicit agreement by means of signature which may normally be relied upon legally, regardless of actual consent, is the norm.

Brief examples of each of the above:

  1. A person may verbally agree to something from fear, perceived social pressure, or psychological difficulty in asserting his true feelings. The person requesting the action may honestly be unaware of this and believe the consent is genuine, and rely upon it. Consent is expressed, but not internally given.
  2. A person may state he understands the implications of some action, as part of his consent, but in fact has failed to appreciate the possible consequences fully and later deny the validity of his consent for this reason. Understanding needed for informed consent is stated to be present but is in fact (through ignorance) not present.
  3. A person may move from friendship to sexual contact on the basis of body language and apparent receptivity, but very few people on a date that results in sexual contact have explicitly asked the other if his or her consent is informed, if he does in fact fully understand what is implied, and all potential conditions or results. Informed consent is implied (or assumed unless disproved) but not stated explicitly.

Dannie, I think your story has potential but needs some improvement. I wasn't sure what was newsworthy in this story. Please review our FAQ or check out our J-Tips for more help.

  4. A person below the age of consent may agree to sex, knowing all the consequences, but his or her consent is deemed invalid as he is deemed to be a child unaware of the issues and thus incapable of being informed consent. Individual is barred from legally giving informed consent, despite what they may feel (1)
  5. In some countries (notably the United Kingdom), individuals may not consent to injuries being inflicted upon them, and so a person practicing sadism and masochism upon a consenting partner may be deemed to have caused actual bodily harm without consent, actual consent notwithstanding. Individual is barred from legally giving informed consent, despite what they may feel (2).

I can not find any source concerning such an experiment in Delaware?

Delaware does not want to admit to being responsible for the activation of this weapons system due to its ability to unduly influence the minds of innocent people. Several years ago there was an unexplained increase in suicides being committed in the prison system and it resulted from this mind control weapon influencing minds and motivating those young men into harming themselves. There is one who was not successful and has said that they were talking in his head telling him things. The experiment is still continuing because there are people who pass through this state never having heard or seen anything previously who will experience voice to skull and visual disturbances which if you check are just two of the effects attributed to this system.

Something messed up is happening here and no one seems to care, I cannot think of any government sanctioned experiment that was confirmed while it was taking place. Usually it is many years later before a journalist will expose what happpened.

Some might not feel that this is newsworthy but when there is a weapon that has the ability to influence a persons without their being aware I feel personally that it is something that everyone needs to know about. When this same weapon violates laws domestically as well as internationally I feel that people should know. When this same weapon has already been directly responsible for murdering, maiming, raping and other horrendous and unnatural acts then I feel that it is and needs to be exposed and is newsworthy. I am a civil and a human rights activist and I care about other human beings in spite of what they do in ignorance. I know that in time all will be revealed and everyone will know the truth.
