This question came up today, and I've been challenged to think through what the Biblical and theological basis might be for an ethical imperative for informed consent (for example, in healthcare, but I guess in general).
It seems to me at first blush that Scripture says little about this, possibly because ancient societies were little concerned with the autonomy and consent of individuals compared to ours, but I'd be curious to see what thoughts others have?
