Abstract: Although people may have disagreements on what values liberty might possess,they all agree that liberty is valuable.All valid consent necessarily entails liberty on the ground of its own will or autonomy.Since it implies the liberty of the consent subject,and liberty is generally regarded as a kind of value,consent possesses,to a certain extent,liberty value.Although consent is preconditioned with the liberty of consent subject,in practice such preconditions with loss of liberty are not uncommon.The factors that lead to the lack of liberty as a prerequisite for consent can be broadly summarized as threat,deception,temptation,and stress.

Key words: consent, liberty, ethics
