Step Three video - ongoing consent
Ongoing consent? What's that?

Joe goes into the lab for various tests and measures and then starts the dietary regimen.

Does the sight of blood make Joe pass out? Where does Carole keep all those stool samples? Is Joe shocked when he passes purple and green stools? Does Joe's friend Jill mind dining alone for 19 days? Does Joe cheat on his diet or does Carole use peanut butter pizza to make him stick? Could Joe quit the study if he wanted to?

What would you do?
