Informed Consent Is Our Highest Priority
by R.L. Cohen
A single smudge mars shined shoes.The doctor walks in, datapad in hand.Each of these experiments has a beneficial goal.
My teeth clamp down into molded plastic.
The doctor walks in, datapad in hand.Nothing is done without Informed Consent. My teeth clamp down into molded plastic.Electrodes measure the pulse within my skin.
Nothing is done without Informed Consent.There are no windows. I cannot see the sky.Electrodes measure the pulse within my skin.We believe in human-assisted surgery.
There are no windows. I cannot see the sky. My hand is quivering and I cannot quiet it.We believe in human-assisted surgery. My body’s reflection distorted by glowing panels.
My hand is quivering and I cannot quiet it.Each of these experiments has a beneficial goal. My body’s reflection distorted in glowing panels.
