consent forms are drafted intentionally vague. Researchers don’t want to limit what they can do with specimens/data they’ve collected. This relates to broad and blanket consent. Blanket consent is essentially consent to future researcher with no specific limitations as to what the researcher can do with the specimens/data (Chandros Hall). It essentially gives the researcher free reign. Broad consent on the other hand is consent with outlined limitations (Chandros Hall). Broad consent is still vague
