revisit 'legally effective consenting'

[mbrochhausen]

We should revisit this class. As a primitive class it strikes me at odd, since there is no intrinsic property that would make the process "legally effective". This means of two exactly similar processes of consenting one could be a member of that class and the other could not, based on the when and where the process took place.
Food for thought and food for discussion.

In a scenario for a pediatric consent:
there are a child and a parent who acts as a guardian. If the parents are divorced, one question is whether the single parent can do legally effective consenting. It's about legally effectiveness.

It appears that 'legally effective consenting' is a subclass of 'informed consent process', where 'legally effective consenting' (or better called 'legally effective consent process') leads to an informed consent that is legally effective.
