    Case Study: Why Is It Wrong To Preform Surgery On Mrs. Johnson

    Why is it wrong to preform surgery on Mrs. Johnson without her consent wrong? It’s clear that it is an act of violation to do so; however, does the game change when she is not in her right mind and absolutely needs a specific surgery to live?
