Ethical dilemmas arise one being the Lacks family had no idea that a sample of her tumour had been taken and sent to George Gey. In chapter three, Henrietta goes for her diagnosis and treatment and signs an operation permit form. I agree Dr. TeLinde’s research was important but not justifiable because he did not properly let his patient be conscious that her cells would be used. One questions whether or not appropriate consent was given because there was not any proper consent. I believe at least letting Henrietta know what they were doing would be the ethical thing to do.
In what instances should people be charged with crimes, if at all, in relation to quarantine? A. People did not think she was a criminal for wanting to be free, in fact they felt sorry for her that she was seemingly healthy and was being kept against her will because she was a "healthy carrier" of the disease. B. I do believe however that once Mary knew she could spread disease through food preparation, she should have stayed away from that occupation completely, even if it meant less pay. I believe it became a crime when she was found working in a hospital preparing food for the people there.
In today’s world if a person were to walk in a hospital and need surgery or any kind of procedures they would have to sign a consent form. A doctor would talk to them about the problem and procedure first, and then ask them to sign documents that again explain the procedure, make sure they understand it and any precautions and then their signature is needed. Once the consent forms are signed that person has officially given the doctor permission to do what ever they need to. In the book The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, author Rebecca Skloot tells the story of Henerietta Lacks a black woman that had cervical cancer and died in the early 50’s and how she has helped shape science, save lives, and further medical research unknowingly and
Such therapies became widely used because doctors and nurses wanted to offer patients cutting-edge treatment. ECT and lobotomy, however, reinforced an old and persistent image of asylums as intimidating places of last resort. Many mental hospitals closed in the 1970s and 1980s. This was due to pressure from the antipsychiatry movement, feminist criticism, ex-patient activism and political suspicion of large, unaccountable institutions. Other mental hospitals were converted to ‘short-stay’ treatment centres - a policy enabled by new psychiatric drugs.
While the Tuskegee study was suppose to help the white population find a cure and at the same time help these individuals with the study, many conflicts and violations occurred that sidelined the moral ideas and thus created extreme ideas that would not be tolerated in today’s society. Throughout the entire film, my emotions were like a roller coaster ride going from the feeling of happiness for the helping nature of Miss Evers to horrified at the changes and lack of adequate help from many of the doctors and hospital staff members. At the beginning of this story, Miss Evers was sent out the find individuals to be studied and to try her best to gather them up to attend the tests. My emotion from the start was happy and gracious that Miss Evers seemed to want to help everyone out and take care of them like they are her brothers. Once she met the boys, I could tell that the mode seemed to change and so did my emotions towards the whole situation everyone was it.

Bok RR1 In the easy “The Doctors’ Dilemma,” Sissela Bok explans why some doctors told lies to their seriously ill patients, and why doctors should be told the truth to their patients. For example, doctors discovered an old man had a form of cancer that he wil be die during few months. “Should doctors ever lie to benefit their patients – to speed recovery or conceal the approach of death?” (337). According to the author doctor, most of doctors are in a dilemma as to whether to tell the patients the truth about their conditions or not.

Using fewer sedatives that promoted a normal circadian cycle prevented delirium. Whereas mobilizing early while they are awake and alert prevented muscle weakness from occurring.

She goes on to explain that an HMO insurance only allows you to see certain doctors.
