Dialogue Over Division

041: Medical Consent & Coercion: Facing Uncomfortable Truths with Lucia Zivcakova


Listen Later

In this episode of Dialogue Over Division we are joined by Lucia Zivcakova, author of Medical Slavery. With a background in psychology and a research focus on how digital technology affects student learning, Lucia brings a unique and critical perspective to the conversation about medical ethics, informed consent, and the shifting boundaries of bodily autonomy.


Together, they explore the rise of coercive medical practices, especially in the context of the Covid response, and the troubling disconnect between research ethics and public health policies. Lucia sheds light on the ethical challenges surrounding coercion and pressure in medical decisions, raising important questions about women’s rights, the erosion of individual choice, and the implications of increasing medical surveillance and transhumanism.


This episode invites listeners to engage with complex issues that are often overlooked—sometimes because they seem too difficult to unpack or too uncomfortable to face. But these are the conversations we must have if we are to uphold true informed consent in a rapidly changing world.


How do we ensure that consent is truly informed? What rights must we reclaim in the face of expanding medical control? And most importantly—how can we empower ourselves and one another to resist passive compliance and foster meaningful, ethical dialogue?


Tune in for a challenging and eye-opening conversation that dares to ask the hard questions—and calls on all of us to be part of the solution.
