  1. ‘Free’ consent means a voluntary decision, by
  2. an individual in possession of all of his
  3. faculties, taken in the absence
  4. of coercion of any kind, be it so
  5. cial, financial, psychological or
  6. other. Any consent given under the threat of
  7. non-treatment or lower quality treatment in a
