The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks Journals

Tuskegee Project What is your reaction to the Jones’ reading? What topics that were discussed yesterday in the 4-Corners Discussion were present in the reading? How were the individuals taken advantage of in the Tuskegee Project? (List at least 3 ways) Why do you think the United States allowed this experiment to go on for so long? Why were the Tuskegee individuals at a disadvantage from the beginning?

PART I Group Discussion Questions • What are the moral/ethical arguments for and against harvesting Henrietta’s cells? • What do you think were the motives of the scientists and healthcare providers that worked with Henrietta Lacks? Were the honorable? • Would the story of Henrietta’s experience with the medical system have been different if Henrietta had been white? Why or why not? • The scientists and family of Henrietta Lacks seem to have different perceptions of the cells growing in the culture. Describe their perceptions. How do you think you would perceive cells from someone close to you that grow in the culture in a laboratory?

Journal #1 1. The passage in which the initial fated cells were removed from Henrietta Lacks’s body reads as follows (see page 33): With Henrietta unconscious on the operating table in the center of the room, her feet in stirrups, the surgeon on duty, Dr. Lawrence Wharton, Jr., sat on a stool between her legs. He peered inside Henrietta, dilated her cervix, and prepared to treat her tumor. But first – though no one had told Henrietta that TeLinde was collecting samples or asked if she wanted to be a donor – Wharton picked up a sharp knife and shaved two dime-sized pieces of tissue from Henrietta’s cervix: one from her tumor, and one from the healthy cervical tissue nearby. Then he placed the samples in a glass dish. Bearing in mind that those two tissue samples removed from Henrietta were not removed in an attempt to treat her cancer, but rather purely for purposes of research… 1. Was it wrong for the doctor to remove the sample tissue in the first place?  2. Was it wrong for Dr. Gey to collect those samples for the purpose of trying to grow them in controlled conditions?  3. Does the end – i.e., the immeasurable benefit to humankind resulting from those tissue samples – justify the means – i.e., removing tissue from a person without their consent or knowledge?

Journal #2 Respond to the following prompt: How do you feel about knowing that you still do not have total control over your body once you go to see a doctor? If you discovered that tissue routinely removed from your body at some point in the past went on to significantly benefit science and research, would you feel that you should somehow be compensated? What do you think is more important – a person’s personal rights over their own tissue, or contributing to science and research for the benefit of all humankind? 

Journal #3 Did seeing the pictures of Henrietta and her family change your perspective and/or opinion of the book? Why or why not? Why has the discovery of the existence of HeLa cells been so difficult for the Lacks family?  How might their situation have been different?

Human Experimentation Graphic Organizer List at least 5 reasons why you are for or against human experimentation. FOR AGAINST

Journal #4: Reflection 1. Was it a good thing for the members of the Lacks family that the author wrote this book? Was this attempt different from previous attempts to write about the Lacks family and Henrietta in particular? 2. How much impact on the Lacks family members’ long term lives did Henrietta’s early demise have? Do you think that her children’s lives would have turned out significantly different had Henrietta not died so young? 3. Do you think the family is owed money for the sale of the HeLa cells? Do you agree with their feeling that they should be compensated?  4.  Ownership of genetic material is still a vexed issue. Many human genes have been patented and a battle is currently being fought through the U.S. courts between doctors and a biotech company owning the patents for genes used in breast-cancer research screening. What are your thoughts about research and patents in this now profit making industry?
