Writing Prompt: Cell Retrieval

If I found out that investigators or researchers took cells from one of my family members without consent I would be flabbergasted! To think that an institution, even if it were for research that would benefit all, would take cells from someone without telling them is not only ethically, but morally wrong.  Not only would I feel surprised, but I would also feel like my family has been violated and taken advantage of.  To find out that a part of the person in your family is still living and growing somewhere, and it would just feel wrong.  I also would attempt at filling a criminal lawsuit against the organization that harvested the cells.  I wouldn't ask for monetary compensation, although I would ask for some sort of justice to be served against the people responsible, to insure that no body else has to go through what I would have had to go through.
