The Inquiry Project

Ted Interviews 2 people to get their thoughts on getting informed consent from doctors.

Sergio and Mike discuss the importance of considering patient rights despite the profits gained from scientific and medical research.

Quiten and Johzayah will be exploring issues of equity, race, and exploitation in the scientific research and the medical field

Ricardo and Jerimiyah will be discussing the ethical issues of informed consent in medical research. They claim that patients should (to the fullest extent) understand and consent to the usage of their biological samples. 

London and Junelle discuss issues of informed consent in the medical field.

Join Zion and Jasiah as the discuss the issues of equity, race, and exploitation in medicine. After reading "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" by Rebecca Skloot, they are exploring how race and power have shaped ethical decision-making in medical research and how these inequities have been addressed today.

In this podcast the Jonathan and Marvens dive into the uncomfortable but essential truths about how race and power have shaped medical research in America.

Join the Patrick and Nicko as they discuss the clash between scientific progress and ethical issues. They will look at the pros and cons of both sides of the argument.

I will be discussing the day old question of when does medical and scientific research stop crossing the boundaries of patient rights.

Join Eshton as he discusses the ethical issue of ownership over biological materials.   His main argument in this topic is that patients should have control over their own biological materials despite the amazing discoveries made by the medical practitioners that have revolutionized science. What are your thoughts?

Christopher & Ervens explore the ethical issues of informed consent in medical research. They claim that patients should be fully aware and well educated before biological samples are used for scientific research.

Jaymani claims that people should be fully informed before agreeing to anything. They should understand what is happening, what they are consenting to, and what risks may come with that decision.

Jaylehn is exploring to what capacity consent should be received from patients.

“Our podcast explores the ethical issue of informed consent in medical research, based on The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot.” “Our essential question is: To what extent should patients fully understand and consent to how their biological samples are used in medical research?” “We claim that medical research must require clear, informed, and voluntary consent from patients before taking or using their biological samples, because people deserve control over their bodies, dignity, and transparency from doctors and scientists.” 

I am going to be discussing the informative consent issues within the medical field while making reference to the story of Henrietta lacks Throughout this podcast I will explore the implications and limitations of what ethical consent regulations could cause. The main question I will be exploring is “How can the broad legislation of informative consent policies pose possible healthcare limitations”  From my research, I found that the broad approach ethical consent regulations could have a very significant effect on the prominent situations where informative consent cannot be given to or understood by a patient in danger and in need of medical care. 

Science and medicine are not neutral, and that informed, ethical inquiry—especially through student voices—can expose inequities, challenge injustice, and inspire meaningful change.
