Chapter Three: Diagnosis and Treatment
- How did doctors justify using patients in public hospital wards as medical research subjects without obtaining their consent or offering them financial compensation? Do you agree or disagree with their reasoning? Explain your answer. Looking at the consent statement that Henrietta signed on page 31 do you believe Telinde and Guy had a right to obtain a sample from her cervix for use in their research? Did Henrietta understand what she was signing? Explain your answers.
The doctors dont have any justification at all on wards while they get specimen from clients irrespective of the clients being paying or non paying . I also believe the fact that someone has signed any legally binding aggreement and dont understand it it shouldn be enfoeceable by law as an aggreement because there is alot of misrepresentation between the lines and not all things on the aggreement are in Black and white to the person signing it. Id rather the aggreement be in a tape recording in a language that the parties all understand.

This relates to Henrietta learning that she was sick. She tries to maintain her situation being strong despite the tough situation and the treatment she was going through she even went to the extreme of going out to dance and visiting out her other folks . This could also be meaning the effects of the treatment on her . Hernrietta had a really tough personality as she wanted and had a will to continue living as normal as she could despite her position;. A very strong willed lady.
The Question for Everyone:
main thing covered here was how Hela discovered that she was not well,how she stated she need go see the doctor . She also went ahead and did more research about the hospital, their records in regards to treatment of patients. Standards and practises were looked upon and most importantly was the issue of segregation and the effects of it . She spoke to diffrent individuals so as to get the needed information
