Reflection on “the immortal life of Henrietta Lacks”

I appreciate this class for giving me the chance to learn about this good book. I have to say that I have found several points I have never thought of before. As the title suggests, humans always try to make themselves an immortal solution.

For example, the story of Rosa Park From this book, I learned the world-famous hospital and Johns Hopkins Hospital has opted to provide medical services since the establishment of the 20th century. However, the story of Henrietta Lacks casts a shadow on its brilliant reputation.

From my personal point of view, the doctor must have a higher moral level than any other occupation. It is difficult to imagine people trying for help from a doctor if they do not do anything to the patient. In other words, in this case people give physicians the absolute power to serve them. Doctors should do their utmost to serve patients, not fraud.

Certainly, when genetic research was still in the infantry phase, physicians or medical researchers needed patient samples for related studies, but the patient was more likely to have a patient sample, as the doctor argued, It was obliged to know what happened to their cells. In the body, it is the thing of the public. If Henrietta Lacks is a white woman, what is the story of this book?

All these are the topics we avoid easily. Most of us want a life after death, but we tend not to discuss this issue as we are not used to unknown things.
