Informed Consent Issue

If investigators had taken my family's cells/tissues without informed consent, I would feel like the law is not in order and would call for a premise on why the investigators took the cells without telling the family members. I feel like as of the 21st century, it is courtesy to let the patient/distributor know what is going on in any given situation, in the case of family member's cells being taken: informed consent. With my family being naive towards western medicine and their endeavors, they wouldn't care but I would say I care enough to speak out about it.
Many bystanders would turn a blind eye and just pretend that the taking of cells didn't happen or that it will benefit some cause, and I agree. A cause could be benefited and many average citizens are oblivious to what giving away tissue can do for the other party. Although states have different procedural approaches to certain circumstances, like these of informed consent, some systems need to be improved to prevent un-informed consent from happening.

Electronic Source Variable

A source that talks a lot about medical controversy would be a good place to start. Through first page results on Google, I can say that the Journal of Ethics is a good place to start. Medical malpractice is tied to the embodiment of bioethics and ethics in general. The Journal talks about many of these topics of what is perceived as good and manners next to human error examples, like medical malpractice.

Research Proposal

Just from looking at the list of suggested topics, I spotted medical malpractice first and decided I should try to find out a little more about the medical world of science since I favor science. So I will give malpractice rarity a shot, and say that malpractice is a common error professionals perform.
