This article was posted by the New England Journal of Medicine. The main argument within the excerpt is the unclear definition of property? Who can have own your body? The questions arise as the debate over human tissue continues. The debate lacks property establishment which seems to be the ultimate problem over this topic. The article also addresses a particle case involving a prostate cancer surgeon, Catalona. He had received the consent of his patients and collected tissue samples during his time with them at Washington University. The doctor relocated to practice elsewhere, but the courts would not allow him to relocate the sample of tissue as well; this was dictated even after the patients gave another consent to have their tissues to be moved to the doctor's new location. Why does written consent not override any decision?
