Creighton University - Center for Health Policy & Ethics

Creighton University
Center for Health Policy and Ethics presents

The Use of Human Tissue and Public Trust:
The Chasm between Science and Ethics

Should researchers be allowed to take human tissue samples without asking?         Why is the public suspicious of scientific research on human cells?         Should scientists know more about your family history than you do?         Do the benefits of human tissue research outweigh the possible harms?
