Surrogate consent
A surrogate is one who takes the place of another.[1]
Surrogate consent is consent for medical and/or surgical treatment that is granted by a substitute for the patient. Surrogate consent is used when the patient is mentally or legally incapable of granting consent.
Surrogate consent is regulated by law. In the United States, surrogate consent is regulated by state law, which varies from state to state.[2]
