Do a Westlaw or LIRN library search of the case Schloendorff v. Society of New York Hospital, 105 N.E. 92 (N.Y. 1914).
Write a two-paragraph discussion, explaining whether you agree or disagree with the court’s opinion that “Every human being of adult years and sound mind has a right to determine what shall be done with his own body; and a surgeon who performs an operation without his patient’s consent commits an assault for which he is liable in damages.”
