cervical cancer.

Who owns your cells? When they are in your body, it’s not much of a question. Does the answer change if they have been taken for testing?

Henrietta Lacks was a 31-year-old mother of five when she died in 1951 of a particularly fast-moving form of cervical cancer. Doctors treating her at Johns Hopkins Hospital took samples of her cancer cells for study. Ms. Lack’s cell line was the first human cell line to grow in a lab environment and went on to help develop the polio vaccine, chemotherapy, in vitro fertilization, and much more. Does the magnitude of these scientific achievements outweigh the fact that doctors did not obtain consent from Ms. Lacks?

To prepare for this Discussion, review the Grady article in this week’s Learning Resources, -Second Opinion: A Lasting Gift to Medicine That Wasn’t Really a Gift” on the case of Henrietta Lacks and the famous “HeLa” cell line.

Post a comprehensive response to the following:

 

  • In your opinion, who owns the results of research (the cells, the cell lines)? Support your rationale using ethical principles.
  • Should Henrietta Lacks’ descendents receive remuneration for the products resulting from the research conducted with HeLa cells? Support your rationale with legal principles.
  • If Ms. Lacks had given informed consent, would your opinion change?

Environmental Toxicology

Environmental Toxicology and Human Health

Environmental toxicology examines how environmental exposures to chemical pollutants may present risks to biological organisms, particularly animals, birds, and fishes. Exposure to a physical, chemical, or biological agent may arise from a number of environmental sources, including the workplace, the home, and the medications and foods that we consume. On the list of hazardous chemicals and other agents that impact human reproduction negatively are pesticides, drugs, and heavy metals.

Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, research on the following topics:

  • Physical Agents
  • Chemical Agents
  • Biological Agents

On the basis of your research and understanding of the topic, answer the following questions:

  • Identify and describe five factors that affect responses to a toxic chemical.
  • What determines the toxicity of a chemical? To what extent do you agree with the assumption that “all substances are poisons”?
  • What is human exposure assessment? Explain some of the methods of exposure assessment.
  • Environmental Toxicology Environmental Toxicology 
  • What are some of the important limitations of the epidemiologic approach with respect to the study of environmental health problems?
