A: This is a fairly new area of law, and you might have to look into a number of sources to educate yourself on it. There are government agencies and other entities who have identified both legal and ethical issues in research papers, covering issues ranging from the liability of health care institutions that administer the implants to privacy issues in the workplace. While your post is in the Uncategorized slot, if you chose to reach out to attorneys who would know the most about this newly emerging area of law, they would probably be privacy attorneys, civil rights attorneys, employment attorneys, and constitutional law scholars. Good luck

A: Another point - you're only fifteen. It's no one's business here, but you could consider asking your parents what they think.
