Two of the amendments deal with the question of consent. Amendment No. 44 reads, "An individual consents if he or she agrees by choice and has the freedom and capacity to make that choice." That seems to me to be a reasonable definition of consent. I have not thought deeply about the matter but it seems to me to be a fairly commonsense view of the question of consent.

Do the amendments propose new sections because I can see that the headline reads "Consent"? I presume that means it is an entire new section.
