Poster presentation

On our CM class, we did a poster presentation. My topic was "diseased kidney transplantaion".
This was aslo my first essay's topic.

I interviewed some questions to my relatives and friends. I was interested in the answer between Japanese college student and American college student.
I asked the question "Do you want to provide your diseased kidney if there is a possibility for other patient to recover with that kidney?" Japanese student of mine answered "Yes", and the American student answered "No". According to her, there is some possibility for her to be sued when the patient become ill after the kidney transplantation even if the patient made a promise with her that he/she will not sue her. Since in the United States, There are much more possibility to be sued compared to Japan, her answer was NO. When I came up with this interview question, I did not assume about the sue. Therefore I was surprised by her reason for the answer. This can be one of cultural difference.
