Models of informed consent, Figure 2 consists of the three-dimensional space of Figure 1 with the addition of well-defined points on the ’registration-axis’ (horisontal), the ’use-axis’ (vertical), and the ’information-axis’. The numbers give the ranking of the specific point (i.e. triangle) in the three-dimensional space in which it is positioned such that the higher the number the weaker the protection of personal autonomy. The colours mark three basic clusters of points according to their protection of personal autonomy. The circles mark the ’positions’ taken by members of the Danish Council of Ethics.
