In the case of Baby Boy Doe, the infant is left to die of starvation and dehydration due to a diagnosis of duodenal atresia as a result of having been deemed born mentally retarded. As neither the parents nor the physician could determent the severity of mental retardation at the period of his birth, this decision was preferred by Baby Boy Doe’s parents. Ethically, as parents of the infant, there should be questions raised as to the appropriateness of allowing the infant to starve to death. Ethically, parents are deemed responsible to provide care and basic needs of care. The fact that the parents could, and even would, deny their infant son such basic needs simply due to the fact he had been declared mentally retarded seems a major ethical faux pas.
Thomas Thompson 8/25/12 AP English IV G/T Schmidt “Salvation” Essay In Langston Hughes’s “Salvation,” he describes himself being “saved from sin… But not really saved.” He was young, and he wanted to please the adults he respected, so he pretended to be saved. In reality, though, the adults he looked up to were the ones responsible for his loss of faith, and unwillingness to be saved. Hughes’s Aunt Reed told him that, “when you were saved you saw a light… you could see and hear and feel Jesus in your soul,” but that was not what he experienced. He had heard others describe “being saved” like that as well, so he assumed Jesus was not coming. He had been fed information about what to perceive in an intensely personal situation, but he wasn’t feeling it.

No one in the Lacks family had been informed of the existence of their mother's cells until a researcher called in the early 1970s wanting to test the family. With this news, the family felt confused and scared. One of the family members described feeling to be the same as being raped, where they did it and nobody told them.
