Henrietta Lacks and the Ethics of Privacy
Tuesday September 25, 2012
5pm-6:30pm
Clary Theater Student Success Center
Don't miss the ethics for the ethics! The Henrietta Lacks story reveals some deeply problematic issues regarding medical ethics. But The Immortal Life has its own problems with regards to privacy and ethics. How does the book repeat the ethical abuses it documents? Why have we missed the privacy issues attached to race, gender, and privilege that the narrative itself engages? Is there a history here?
