Students recorded the results of theirdiscussions, addressing questions such as: What was the problem(s)? What should theresearchers have done differently? What can we learn from this example? Do we have a fullunderstanding of what happened? As a follow-up to the ethics material presented in lectures anddiscussion section, students were given an assignment to reflect on the proceedings (AppendixA). Students were encouraged to generate their own points of discussion, but possible points todiscuss included: What do you consider to be some of

A recent New York Times bestselling book, “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks”by Rebecca Skloot (13), documents the origins of the HeLa cells and traces the origins of somemodern day ethical standards in the medical field back to the 1950’s when the field of cellculturing was only beginning.The story and origins of HeLa cells provide a unique backdrop to modern day concepts of theHealth Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA
