Bad karma


The book about Henrietta Lacks certainly shows what can happen when people do not follow good sense.  I was constantly amazed by the lack of good judgment shown by the various people in this book: the grandfather allowing his grandchildren to all sleep in the same room, the women in Lacks town who did not intercede and advise Henrietta when she was young, preacher for marrying first cousins, the list seems endless.  Talk about having bad karma.
