Course Description

When Henrietta Lacks went to Johns Hopkins Hospital in 1951 to be treated for cancer, her cells began to be used in medical research – without her or her relatives’ consent. These “HeLa” cells have impacted research for seven decades and also became a bioethics issue. In this course we will discuss medical consent and how medical communities and legal entities have viewed it and who makes the ultimate decision.
