Justified Benefits?

One point which was raised in class was the treatment of Henrietta as justice due to the benefits her cells have provided science. However, if we were to consider a majority of scientific procedures or medical interventions as justice due to the possible benefits many of the procedures such as sex reassignment surgery and the medical separation of conjoined twins would possibly be considered beneficial. However, it is the treatment of individuals which should be of high importance. For it is essential that the individual seeking help either receives such help or can make an inform decision. Rather than benefiting others, often only those who can afford the care or the medical professionals involved in the treatment.
