In fact I do not have لسان العرب
to look for the تفسير of my موافقة واعية بكل المعلومات
which as far as I know would mean complete awareness with all the information given.Can you consult your dictionary pls.
وعي is good but reflects awareness, not information.
علم is more precise as it denotes actual factual information provided to the person who is asked to give informed consent.

موافقة عن وعي
Definition from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Informed_co: Informed consent is a legal condition whereby a person can be said to have given consent based upon a clear appreciation and understanding of the facts, implications and future consequences of an action. In order to give informed consent, the individual concerned must have adequate reasoning faculties and be in possession of all relevant facts at the time consent is given. Impairments to reasoning and judgement which would make it impossible for someone to give informed consent include such factors as severe mental retardation, severe mental illness, intoxication, severe sleep deprivation, Alzheimer's disease, or being in a coma. This term was first used in a 1957 medical malpractice case by Paul G. Gebhard.

Definition from own experience or research: www.pic.int/INCs/INC7/o)/Arabic/INC7-14A.DOC الموافقة المسبقة عن علم = Informed prior consent الموافقة عن علم = Informed consent As is it used by the United Nations
Example sentence(s):
وتلخص المعلومات المقدمة المعلومات التي عممتها الأمانة على السلطات الوطنية المعينة، وفقاً للمواد 4، 5، 6، 7، 10، 11 و14 من خلال مذكرة التعميم الخاصة بإجراء الموافقة المسبقة عن علم. - United Nations
Definition from portal.unesco.org: I know that many of you don't like it because "how can consent, which is not a person, be aware or informed of anything"! I find it obvious that it is the person who is consenting who is aware/informed, just like in English. Even if your point of view has linguistic merit, "موافقة واعية" is more practical. Believe me, it can get very complicated and the extra preposition makes life miserable!
Example sentence(s):
ثم تقدم الزوج بعد ذلك بموافقته الواعية بإجراء الجراحة - portal.unesco.org
