One of the major medical issues brought to light in the immortal life of henrietta lacks, is how informed consent is not legally required for blood and tissues used for research purposes. after reading about the experiences of the lacks family with hela cells, do you think this practice should remain as is or be changed and altered in some way? why or why not? essay

Firstly this should be your own opinion. based on what the lacks family experienced do you think the practice should be changed? if you think about what happened in the book, every interaction that was held with a family member showed how upset the family was. without consent  tissues were taken from henrietta without the knowledge of her and her family, and it was completely legal. many medical professionals collected a large sum of money from hela cells, and yet, the actual lacks family couldn't get anything in return, in fact, almost no one even knew who henrietta was or even her name. the book is truly fascinating, make sure to not only read the words but also to feel and understand the words to come up with your own conclusion. also try putting yourself in that situation, what would you want to have happen? i hope this .
