> > if someone else is introducing you as part of their thing... then wouldn't you think that person would have some kind of responsibility to check that you would be okay with that process etc. wouldn't you think that there might be some kind of process involved regarding informed consent etc?
I've planned and given professional presentations in my field for a few years. Granted, I've never asked clients or "patients" to present with me, but as the chair of the program, I've not had to obtain informed consent of any kind to invite speakers to present with me.
A presentation at a professional conference presents data versus collects data. One does not need to give informed consent to present "data", in this case, personal experiences of posting on Babble. If Dr. Bob intends to use the experience of Babblers presenting as research, i.e. he collects data via observation, interviewing, etc., then those presenting with him would be considered research participants (formerly "subjects") and would have to give consent.
I've not heard from Dr. Bob whether he intends to collect any data regarding this experience. I would like to think he would announce that prior to anyone committing to go. Although that's just how I would do it--present the entire picture before asking anyone to join.
