Henrietta Lacks Case Study Student Manual
Three Ethical Points:
1. The first human immortal cell came from a black woman named, Henrietta Lacks.
2. Doctors should let people know if they want to use their cells for scientific reasons.
3. Genetic privacy is important to the human population.
2. Doctors should let people know if they want to use their cells for scientific reasons.
3. Genetic privacy is important to the human population.
Research Questions and Ethical Considerations:
1. Three things that can support Suzannes's case are gene therapy, inheritance, and gene ownership.
2. Karen should be more protective over her biological property because they can use her stem cells to create organs for other people and use them for other research without her permission.
3. You can ethical problems from unsecured biological resources such as: ending up with someone elses disease, you can have organs in you that are infected, and even have organs removed.

Subsequent Case Thought Questions:
1. I felt like Henrietta Lacks was important to scientific developments but but didn't get any of the benefits.
2. I believe that the era of time played a role in attitudes.
3. I believe the attitudes have changed because nowadays everyone is equal in terms of rights and race. It has changed for the better.
4. Scientists should be able to cultivate tissues, but do it in a way where it is okay for everyone. People need to knowif their tissues are going to be used for something.
