In the early 1920s, a type of postmodernism can be found in Pablo Picasso's & Arnold Schonberg's neoclassical works. Theodor W. Adorno's various attempts to cope with this phenomenon are discussed (eg, Aesthetic Theory, London, 1984). Although some elements of a postmodernist critique of modernism can be found in Adorno, he does not draw conclusions from his critique of modern composers for their infatuation with the material & lack of expression. Three different interpretations of the concept of postmodernism are proposed: (1) the antimodern interpretation that turns the waning of modernism into a pledge for a neoconservative academism; (2) the pluralistic interpretation that sees insight into the availability of different stocks of material as an indifferent eclecticism; & (3) a dialectical continuation of modernism, heir of aestheticist formalism & of the avant-garde protest against it, that pledges a resemanticization of art.

This essay explores the informed consent ramifications of the confluence of these two phenomena: developments in medical technology and emerging adulthood. In particular, it explores consent to medical treatments by emerging adults that are both elective and irreversible. In such cases, policy considerations dictate that additional safeguards be implemented to ensure that the consent given is truly informed. Part II of this essay provides an overview of the informed consent doctrine and outlines a variety of advancements in elective medical technology. Part III explores the concept of emerging adulthood. Part IV suggests that when emerging adults seek medical treatments that are elective, non-emergent, and irreversible, the law should require deliberative consent, a process that mandates counseling by a patient advocate along with a waiting period.
