Informed Consent
Challenges
Inconsistency of form
Consent for tissue
incorporated in consent for

Consent choices in the
middle of the form, often
not in context
Patient  can be unclear
about what s/he is
consenting to

General statements about the
future use of tissue rather
than try to predict uses
