Compare and contrast the medical research likely performed on Elsie with Gey’s research and Southam’s research. Does some medical research seem ""more wrong?"" Why do you feel that way?

Answer:

Yes. Southam's research was "more wrong"

Step-by-step explanation:

They both didn't seek the informed consent of their patients and we're both wrong. However, Southam injected patients(both healthy and unhealthy) with cancerous cells to see how their bodies would react. This was terribly wrong seeing that he put unsuspecting patients in danger. Elsie on the other hand, collected tissue samples from his patients to conduct his research which is a clear violation of their rights but clearly not as deadly as Southam's.
