Abstract
In medical practice and research the principle of individual prior informed consent has a crucial role to play. However, the emphasis on individuals is not the same across the world. Communities in many cultures and traditions play an important role in determining human well-being and in individuals living their lives to the full. From a global perspective the moral status of a community is recognized in the concept of community consent.
