Confronting a Fetal abnormality

I really dont take a stand point on what the docotor should have done or not done in the situation that arose. Maybe the doctor had to tell the patient no matter what the results are and what the family or friends tell him to do, it is his job and he could possibly get in trouble for not saying the results because what if she got injured or even died... On the other side the doctor could have respected the familys requests and possibly told someone higher up about the situation.

Berkely article

Im not sure on how i feel about this article. The university made the tests voluntary so students could get the tests done if they wanted to so i really dont see the big deal the writer is making about it. It ultimatly comes down to the student does it not if they want to allow their DNA to be tested and sent off and read. Me personally i would do the test that the universtiy offers but i'd only do it if they were looking for more important things such as cancer and other dieseses. this is just my outlook on the article.

Research Paper Link

The article i have found gives a great start and some good ideas on how i should start and write my paper on HeLa cells and how they've affected the medical field today and what have they all been used for in medical research. http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/Henrietta-Lacks-Immortal-Cells.html

How would you feel if you discovered that investigators had taken cells or tissues from some member of your family without consent?

When i think of somebody taking somthing i think of how were taught when were kids to ask before we take, or that everything has a price before it's yours. So if someone willingly took cells or tissues from a member of my family without the proper consent of me, my family, or the relative the cells/tissue was being taken from i would be really upset. If your going to take somthing and use it for research you should ask the person first because its their body and if they say no it means no, if they say yes and you promise them somthing like money or whatever it may be you should stand true to that because they are allowing you to use part of their body for research. As a person you should feel wrong about taking somthing with out asking espesially if you later discover somthing groudbreaking and make money off of the person you took the cell/tissues from.
