As the duty of a doctor that provides all the information including possible negative effects of a treatment has been considered more in the legal evaluation, there is only little domestic precedent figured out the violation of those duties. However, as the medical malpractice litigations are getting increased recently, it seems clear that we need more reasonable and objective opinions collected from experts. This is a very important issue which can be used to clarify both the patients' right of self- determination and the doctors' violation of liability for explanation in the healing process.
