Answer 1

I believe the answer is: The right to informed consent

The right to informed consent refers to the patient's right to fully know the purpose of the treatment that the patient about to take alongside with its risk and benefit. Failing to obtain this consent before performing the treatment would open the risk for the hospital to face a huge lawsuit.
