Rebecca Skloot’s story

Rebecca Skloots story, The eternal Life of Henrietta Lacks, is based on Henrietta and her family. In order to learn around the indescribable Henrietta Lacks, Skloot as a result, wrote this biography on her. Skloot wanted to further her study about the Lacks family in relation to their health, personal life, and pagan concerns associated to the story. Henrietta and her familys knowledge about her cells and how they were world used was the main issue. Human rights that people had/have about their bodies and how they are used in medical research becomes the stories moral question.Also in questioning is race. As utter in the book, Theres no way of knowing how Henriettas treatment would have differed if shed been white. According to Howard Jones, Henrietta got the same care any white patient would have the biopsy, the radium treatment, and radiation were wholly standard for the day (Skloot, 64). There is a slight possibility that if she had been white she may have acquired somewhat acknowledgement, at that moment or later, for the impact of her cells that were delivered for further study on cancer.Since this was in the 1950s, The era of Jim Crow, in that respect were different outlooks of ethnicity than what there are today (Skloot, 15). Christoph stated in the book, When you find oil on souls property, it doesnt automatically belong to them, but they do get a portion of the wage (Skloot, 267). Awareness that people should have on different parts of their body, and how their body parts are being used around the globe for further research is also argued in the book.
