The book we are reading in class seems to cover a topic that has many people up in arms. I wonder if they would be so excited if this woman had been a European immigrant who was, due to her lack of finances, admitted to John Hopkins charity wards with the same problem. This woman would have been had many of the same problems as Henrietta Lacks, she would have been poor and had only an elementary understanding of English. Would this then make the actions of the doctors a no never mind?
